Also if you if you do not like yast2 you can still use yast to install. I had to because yast2 said i did not ahve enough hard drive space when in fact i did have more then enough to install all that I wanted. jack At 05:37 PM 6/29/00 +0100, paul wrote:

Be fair, SuSE ahs to have a newbie interface. Red Hat's made me realise that Linux (my first attempt had been with Caldera 1.3) that it was possible to get Linux running without *all* the reading of the man pages. It's easier to learn once you've got a working installation. How many newbies like me walked away from Linux because of their first bad experience? At least SuSE's Yast2 does install the packages that it says its going to - unlike Red Hat 6.1.

Anyway, the more that try Linux, of any flavour (including Corel <bg>) pref SuSE's, the better.

There were more than 200 votes this morning and SuSE had more than 50% of the votes.

They've reset the voters counter and removed the SuSE option. What the hell kind of web site is that?

A *very* commercial one. Got their eye on ad sponsors. -- Paul Hornshaw -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I got a response from the webmaster indicating that a SuSE employee abused the poll. I can't believe that.

If what he's saying about a suse employee is true, then I'm not very happy about it. In any case, they should be capable of filter out repeated entries from a given domain or email address. I don't think they should have removed the SuSE option.
