i don't work here, so this is all just my opinion: ok, so you just want _use_ openSUSE...no problem, except who will be your System Administrator/superuser/root? the System Administrator _does_ have to invent a wheel or two from time to time *or* have a System Administrator handy to do that for those who wish to "just use" a wheel (or a Linux system)..
What is the point here? You have a list for what? To tell people not to use it?
no, the list is to point System Administrators not completely familiar with openSUSE in the right direction so they can increase their understanding and capability in administering the openSUSE systems under their control..
If i want to have an openSUSE question answered, i go to this list: opensuse@opensuse.org
but "How to get tty stdout to a file?" is *not* an openSUSE question.. also *not* a Ubuntu or Red Hat or Fedora or Mint or or or or question.. instead, it _clearly_ is a basic, foundational, required base of knowledge of routine BASH techniques, procedures, recognized common (safe) practices with Linux which is needed by System Administrators no matter the distro being administered.. hand feeding any (not just you) individual _user_ the basics of system administration is *not* what this forum is about.. there are millions of words on the net to help you learn the basics, here are a very _few_ of them--some better than others: http://rute.2038bug.com/ http://www.linux-tutorial.info/index.php http://tille.garrels.be/training/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/ http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ http://tille.garrels.be/training/tldp/ http://www.scribd.com/doc/12918020/Linux-Starter-Pack and there are uncountable non-disto specific forums when folks learn basics, found from here: https://www.google.dk/search?q=forum+to+learn+basic+linux and, do not forget there are also colleges, universities and tech-schools that teach basic Linux courses....there are probably online courses you can take, some free and some costly.. but, when you have an openSUSE question, needing an openSUSE answer, feel free to seek help here while following this how-to-ask guide http://tinyurl.com/anel
So get used to it, and if you do not want to answer my questions, just ignore them.
ok. but, while openSUSE questions are fair here, either learn the basics, or hire a System Administrator to care and feed your system...those are the choices... if you just wanna be a user then there _are_ system administrators with spare time on their hands....i know a guy in Slovenia who will (or at least he used to) be available to administer your laptop or multiple racks of machines in any distant server farm, he could touch via ssh/etc....i do not know his hourly rate today.. dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
