New subject: [SuSE Linux] Vote for SuSE

10 Feb 1999

      Jesus! what a whining!

It looks like you [americans] want everything to go the pizza hut or
mcdonald's way ...  even what OSes  are  concerned.   Sorry  of  the
flame  but  I  am  somehow  fed  up  by  that  kind  of super-market
mentality.

Anyway ...

] I couldn't agree more with this.  I have to admit that despite the fact that
] SuSE has been very good to me (as a product), the recent total lack of
] attention to detail surrounding 6.0 and the fact that RedHat is exploding
] forward give me many doubts about SuSE as a company.  Ultimately, in this
] consumer driven world, the only way products hang around, even when they are
] good/great like SuSE, is to have the coplementary good/great backing through
] various support channels and, of course, things like an up to date and
] comprehensive web site and, generally, a strong and attentive company
] backing it.  And, one must remember the mantra invoked by most strong companies
] (RedHat?), IMAGE, IMAGE IMAGE  Else, like someone on here so correctly said,
] SuSE becomes the Amiga, the OS2, etc. I like SuSE a lot, but I am feeling less
] and less like putting up with being in the minority's minority (even given that
] I have a slightly better product) and with difficulties in getting what I want
] when I want it (like RPM's! and up to date WebPages). If SuSE doesn't shift
] into high gear, I fear that even your above average computer user, who
] appreciates what SuSE has to offer over other distbns, will find themselves
] nonetheless considering other distbns for these myriad reasons.
] 
] To end this all on a nice note: Go SuSE!
