I hate to sound "me too", but these are also the reasons why I have stayed with SuSE over the years. I went looking for a Linux distro almost the same day IBM announced it was discontinuing OS/2 (around 2001/2002, iirc, but maybe earlier), which I had been running since version 2.0. After a quick comparison of features, I rather quickly settled on SuSE 6.3, and I have been running SuSELinux/openSUSE ever since.
I used to do 3rd level OS/2 support at IBM Canada. It was capable of a lot of things that I've not seen elsewhere. I first tried Linux when I bought the Linux Bible, GNU Testament, which came with a Yggadrasil CD. I then tried Slackware. At IBM, I was on a distribution list for a lot of different software CDs, for OS/2, DOS, Windows, mainframe stuff and also a bunch of Linux CDs. Back then I tried Red Hat, Mandrake & Debian, all from that IBM pack. I also went to a Corel Linux presentation, with some of my co-workers and got a CD there. One problem I recall was getting Debian to run on a Microchannel bus & token ring. We weren't successful. I had to change a config file to get Mandrake to run on a ThinkPad & token ring. At home, I ran Red Hat for a while before moving to SuSE, about 15 years ago. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
