[opensuse] Bill Gates in Heaven
Bill Gates in Heaven Bill Gates died and went to Heaven. Saint Peter showed him to his house, a small cottage on a tiny plot in the woods. The closets were full of simple but servicable clothing, and the kitchen was stocked with the basic needs. Bill slowly settled into a modest and quiet life in heaven. One day, Bill was walking in one of Heaven's many fine parks, when he ran into a man dressed in a fine tailored suit. "That is a nice suit, my friend," said Gates. "Where did you get it?" "Actually," the man replied, "I was given a hundred of these when I got here. I've been treated really well. I got a mansion on a hill overlooking a beautiful lake. I have a huge five-hundred acre estate, a golf course, tennis courts and three Rolls Royces." "Were you the Pope, or a doctor who healed the sick?" asked Gates. "No," said his new friend, "Actually, I was the captain of the Titanic." Hearing this made Gates so angry that he immediately stalked off to find St. Peter. Cornering St. Peter, Bill told him about the man he had just met, saying, "How could you give me a paltry new house, while you're showering new cars, a mansion, and fine suits on the Captain of the Titanic? I invented the Windows operating system! Why does he deserve better?" Replied Peter, "the Titanic only crashed once." -- Linux is an old Latin word meaning, "I don't have to support your Windows anymore." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Then it looks like you need to fix/replace some broken hardware. I don't see any of these problems. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Same for me and I have openSUSE 11 installed on 4 systems and no problem with any of them. On the other hand, my work computer, running XP, often locks up or has to be rebooted for other reasons. I even had a BSOD yesterday. Some days I have to reboot it 2 or 3 times and it is also extremely slow. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Neither do I, and I'd bet a lot of $$ I have installed openSUSE on a LOT more systems than he has 'Bloze. 'Sounds like a troll to me.

The issue is not the hardware. Memtest can run forever without any errors and I can run Prime95 (even under SuSE) and can not reproduce the issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes 11.0 is definitely more of a bear to install and get going than 10.3 was. I found turning off auto-configuration (during install)did the trick for me, the system behaves as expected, no extra kernel, but it still cannot set up grub for other than Windows and itself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmm. Having installed 11.0 on numerous machines(Thinkpad P3/500, AthlonXP, Core2, PPC, I have to say that it's worlds better than 10.3 in speed of install and stability. I haven't had autoconfig fail once on video hardware. Had one issue on network, but that was quickly resolved. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
We are getting ready for Software Freedom Day next 20th Sep. We have Acer, Asus, HP, IBM TP and Packard Bell laptops and 22 "home made" boxes (ISE/SCSI/SATA, Intel/AMD/VIA/IBM MB, all sorts of generations) and we are quite happy with openSUSE 11.0 I also managed to install on a 8 GB USB key. I will migrate my wife's eeePC this week end if I can get hold of it as well. I think that you could check your hardware, just in case.... I would start with RAM.

Best wishes,
If you are referring to me, I can tell you that the only wonky piece of hardware that I have ATM, is the USR-Modem, which seems to longer register on the PCI-bus (a project for this weekend). I have 4 other OS' humming along quite well including that other OS which is less than fault tolerant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm glad it worked so well for you, my mileage was quite different, and oddly enough the AthlonXP that I have was the most troublesome. :( Autoconfig insisted in installing a "default" kernel (3 times once per install try!!!!) alongside the PAE that the installer chose. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This I gotta see !! Nope, checked my crystal ball, the Horoscopes for Gates, and his alleged OS. The entrails of a Brownie , and nope that last line wont scan... and I found someone's Fountain pen right next to the body... Okay.. I'll be good and go over to our corner now. >(^ - ^)< Chalk my (intended) silliness to Fay's being a really poor guest who just wont leave, (eventually this whole area will be under water.. but I can't find my snorkel anywhere..) weird, no? Yep we are not far from Melbourne and the noise of the NOAA radio going off in the darkest hours.. the darned thing just will NOT stop until you get up and go push a button. The darned storm decided to slow to a crawl after it landed here. It's now going out to the bay, but it's coming back probably will be w/ us until sometime Friday.. -- j "Science is what we do when we don't know what we're doing" Dr. Alvaro de Rujula -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
