Re: [SLE] Suse eval version?
I haven't lost faith in SuSE Linux but I have lost faith in the people behind it that they don't provide a ftp service. Am I the only person
who
likes to live without carrying around a bunch of CDs and stuff his room with similar manuals???
Just to make this clear one more time. I will only be purchasing CD copies of SuSE if you start opening up the ftp process. If you won't stop torturing your ftp customers then I hope others pull even with me with stopping the revenue from going to SuSE.
My first inclination to this was to say don't let the door hit you in the backside on the way out. If you FTP everything why bother buying anything. Your logic defies what you are saying. "I'll FTP it and then buy the CD's.." Yea right..
The same way people download Mp3 songs for sampling and then buy the CD of the album. duh. I am aware of the economics of the software business and hence I know they don't get money for free downloads. But I'd be willing to buy a copy due to the service they deliver. Because they don't offer me ftp in a timely manner SuSE lost all the business they ever made with me. I won't buy again unless SuSE loosens up. I count ftp access as one of the major advantages of Linux and SuSE is ruining it. In 5 years when everybody got high speed access at home/work SuSE will have to lighten up. CDs will not make revenue then anymore. I been waiting for the ftp since August 25. Is it any wonder I am pissed? I know in the coming releases I will not be alone. There are others out there who want the thing on ftp. How about a SuSE membership fee of 15 bucks a year to access limited-access ftp servers??? I rather pay 15 bucks a year for this service than have to buy a CD pack with a bunch of manuals I don't read. Also I wouldn't have to sit here for 3 months waiting for my chance to install the latest aka 'by then old' release. mk _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

This topic is stale. We are now irrationally iterating the same
positions again. Before we go into an infinite loop (before we get
more replies), let us consider that the several points of view have
already been expressed, including SuSE's, and if after their
expression no one's mind is changed, no purpose is served by going
over the same ground again. That is not the purpose of this list, either.
