Now that suse will be opened I think we linux users know where it has to go before it can become a threat to the windows desktop!

Programs like acidrip,grip streamtuner, gtk-gnutella should be gui’d up to look attractive and not just functional, e17 has some awesome desktop enhancements even though its still in beta . the open office suite must me compiled with suse better in order to open faster ect  as right now while a great program it  takes forever to open .

The good thing is that Suse has been professionally developed  and it shows , The open source software movement needs more programmers to make the existing software that we use such as the above I mentioned and the likes of Mplayer and XINE ect more attractive and if necessary legal.

EXCELLENT!   I would vote for that in a heartbeat!

Actually I think that Suse should lighten the load with Kde  most people do not need all the crap that comes with KDE  and if necessary just have it in a repository , FreeBSD  has a kde lite which is quite good. With open suse I guess legal issues still affect what software can or cannot be included  , but a standard list of YAST sources such as packman ect should be included but disabled , this would be great for newbies who want to install software but don’t know how.

I have had little or no trouble getting anything I wanted installed on 9.3   However there are occasions where I need to revert to the command line.   One of the greatest strengths of SuSE is YaST and I would hate to see it tampered with in the slightest.  If alternate methods are Incorporated I would like to see them stay just that - alternate methods with no attempt to integrate them with YaST.
