I couldn't have said it better. SuSE , I personally think, is a better product than RH, but seeing that they do not promote their product well in NA really really does hurt them where it hurts most. RH is almost synonymous with Linux, and vice versa. In fact, a newbie friend of mine didn't know that there was a company other than RH that produced Linux [distros]. And yes, the american site of SuSE is a shame!! I mean it. www.suse.de/e is much better and much up to date. Why can't they just mirror the site to the american version, with some changes of course. ps. Gerry, I noticed that you are a Shaw Wave customer, so am I. I just wanted to ask where did you get your SuSE package? I got mine from Chapters [Highway7 and Woodbine] for only 45 bucks. I noticed that Chapters is now carrying the CALDERA OPEN LINUX 1.3 BASE version, but the price is a whopping 110 Canadian Dollars. JEEZ!!! Gerry Doris wrote:
6.0 has been released in Europe but Suse haven't bothered to update their NA website in months. There is still the same old tired description of what were going to be treated to...and much of it is wrong (ie. will ship with 2.2 kernel, will be totally 2.2 kernel ready...). I've heard rumours that 6.0 is actually shipping in NA but you wouldn't know it from anything Suse does. Most companies would be making press releases all over the place???
Sorry if I'm being overly critical but there are other people working very very hard to get my attention and $$$. If Suse thinks that just tossing a product into the market (even if it's a superior product) will win the day, well, they have a lot to learn.
