. I wish for a more consolidated config schema. - To this day I do not know how to replicate one setup for all users (so it is updated) real-time. Experiments with symlinking have failed. - Sooo many customization files scattered all over the place, in /opt, /usr, /etc, /home, and sooo many ways to mess it up. At least some sort of backup tool that would save a whole system customization. Better yet, a more cohesive customization system. - A rational system for menu .desktop links. Should be able to simply move files around within some directory structure (yeah like Windows) and be able to right-click a menu entry to modify -- object-oriented. - An official Suse backup program. One that would save *everything* in the best io format, and that would be easy to do disaster recovery with. - A simpler filesystem. I like one global environment (no "disk C:, D:, etc) but I also like simple upper-levels with information categorized *below*, rather than having 16 *irrelevent* folders visible at root. I'm one of those who with Winduhs, had about 5 top-level folders. And knew exactly where everything was, because it was organized. - I dream of a *nix clone for Wordperfect. One that will import old WP and M$ files perfectly and would save to M$Orifice docs perfectly. This alas, is but a pipedream. I realize some of this contravenes the Posix and whatever other standards, or is under the control of someone else, but it's what I would like. Most of this bears on simplification, in case you didn't notice. Anon. Coward On Tuesday, 23 April 2002 11:17, you wrote:
Hi all,
I've been asked by the marketing folks to get suggestions on how the International version of SuSE Linux could be improved for the US. If you have any suggestions regarding features that could be added/improved I'd really appreciate if you'd send them to the reply-to address and not to the list. Suggestions like "Please upgrade package foo to version x.y" aren't terribly helpful, suggestions like "Please be a little less conservative with package updates" are. You get the idea...
I often say that there's no point in complaining about things on this list because it's not read by the people who make a lot of the big decisions; this is your chance to bypass the feedback@suse.com bottleneck and give input directly to them. I'll stop collecting feedback on Monday, Apr. 29 so you have some time to think about it.
Thanks in advance,
