Dear Aaron! I don't know what to add in substance but since you addressed me directly let me clear some things.
Do you realize how much of a complete ingrate you make yourself appear to be?
I don't claim a special version for me (or my buddies as you call them). All I said was that there are distributions with a longer life cycle. For all the Suses I came in touch to I'm thankful. They all, from Suses to opensuses, were a great piece of work. In the end it's not about emotions but future actions. I will choose the linux which seems best for me. And I liked the suse way all the time so I asked if there're plans to release a version which is suitable for my needs. Because I wanted to stick with suse. I will never say (like others do) that any other distribution is superior. That is unthankful. I appreciate what I get and allow myself to ask for things I held useful for.
Why don't you lobby for a return of OpenSuse Professional, which was not nearly as expensive as SLED OR SLES, but sales of such could finance significant longer-term support.
Is this logical inside your argumentation? Is there a difference between opensuse "LTS" and suse prof? All I lobby for is a broad base of "my" linux flavor. I want a sufficient number of people in community. I like all the tuts and hints over the web.
If you want something which COSTS MONEY, then be prepared to pay for it, and quite *WHINING* that it's not being given to you IN ADDITION to a very convenient software distribution which has a value in many thousands of euros.
Do you think I'm crying about missing presents? Do you think I beg for it? No, I don't. I'm *WHINING* about the good time I had using suse. It reminds me to discussions windows users like to have. Why can't I get windows for free?? Freedom of software is freedom of choice, too.
The horse is dead; no matter how many times you kick it, it isn't going to get up and run a race.
Thanks for the conclusion. I support this. Johannes P.S It always has been a chameleon; not a horse. Hopefully only the horse is dead. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
