Hi,

Hi,

Suffice it to say that we SuSE users have it good!

By the way, Mozilla 1.7.6 was released today. You can find GTK2+xft-enabled builds in http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.6/contrib....

Just installed it last night in my home PC, I feel it's better than Firefox ;-) . Have a good new job. Edwin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCQlyEkaMcq796kjoRAuuuAJ9uOD+1+dPrNvMI1pFekIupEFX4wACeIoRU 5YoXcGiUMDz4lePIFABk/tU= =lJzx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Stock builds (GTK1) have installers. No RPMs whatsoever there. I'm sure it'll get packaged into an RPM for SuSE by someone out there.

Hi,

I started a new job today. The good news is they use Linux. The bad news is that it's Redhat and it's mandated by company policy (where have we heard that before?).

Redhat does not hold a candle to SuSE.

What's especially bad is the truly awful font rendering. And the damn thing's running Mozilla 1.4!

I could rant on, and I'm just starting to get things set up on my workstation.

Surely there is some way of sneaking SuSE in under the radar, it must be easier than when I started using Linux and the company standard was Windows 95 - the comments I had to endure back then, but Linux delivered wonderfully and I have too thick a hide to be beaten into submission. There were a few close calls when I thought I'd have to reinstall Windows, but Citrix saved the day with their Linux client, StarOffice 5 (from StarOffice), Wine for Lotus Notes, then much later the Cisco VPN client for Linux. I once worked on a box Stateside for 3 days before I got curious, I knew it was some sort of Unix, perhaps SCO (I wash my mouth out), I asked a guy and he said he thought it was Linux, so I had a good look around and it was, with Windowmaker which I hadn't come across before. The only trouble I ever had was in the Madrid office when I wanted to get some emails for fixes to BigBrother on Solaris and the DHCP server refused to give me an IP address saying I wasn't running Windows, so I had to borrow a laptop with Windows - Imagine a Unix Server vendor only allowing Windows connections, scandalous.
