jdd a �crit :
Jean-Daniel could you *please* avoid such stupid and polemic statements.
Thank you Pascal for the answer to my previous question! I'll use *this* to accentuate!
Of course no one wants to "push all these people out of SUSE world", such statements are - excuse me - just plain dumb.
alas it's not stupid. this has been the SUSE way from the beginning. each new suse asks for more computer power, just for install with yast.
+1 YaST rules but YaST is *Big_n_Fat* ;-) It makes the whole thing, each release, *far* too hangry with new hardware power to my point of view too!
so may be the solution could be to keep _one_ low end distribution downloadable and with at least security updates for ten years.
You should look at debian for such a long support as this is against commercial distros goal/possibility!
or may be we need a full console install, with no semi-graphical interface
Looks like YaST is still *Big_n_Fat* with ncurse! Far from "small is beautiful"!
jdd :-(
And *please*, avoid telling me this is polemic as these are purely *facts*, if you have started with 5.2, and still have some memory of it! I'm not flaming, only raising *facts*, as could do an opened eyes 8 years SuSE user. This also means that I *Like* it a lot! MaNU --
