Exactly So! If is boss is going to be evaluating software, even assuming his boss is competent, and look and feel at boot time is what makes or breaks the deal then get SLED, not opensuse..
His boss sounds like the kind of guy who needs that security blanket of a check being printed and mailed to pay for the software.
This is correct; the computing world does not begin and end with bean counting. Leave some space for Grandma and little Timmy. They matter.
Dear list, - please allow me to add a few of my own observations gathered from working with the Linux/SuSE desktop in corporate environments... a) Management indeed tends to be very fuzzy about what's on their PC's. They do because they are used to a MS-Windows environment, where this is an important issue. b) Namedropping is popular. I always see to that company logos etc., are properly displayed just about everywhere when I go to a first time demo of an application or a desktop for a buyer. Having a logozied (new word :-)) setup is a fine icebreaker. Even you could argue that it's ever so primitive, it works. I ALLWAYS see to that the first desktop background sports the company logo. They don't say anything..., but they love it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard +===============================================================+ Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-default KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45" 9:50am oppe 0:40, 2 users, belastningennemsnit: 0,05, 0,15, 0,19 +===============================================================+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
