not true.
I must type a bigger smiley and explain it is a joke, next time. It was a joke.
Sometimes you can't please everybody.
what I try to note is that these people are 80% of the world. do you want to cancel 80% of potential users?
If they hold back the development of SUSE, yes. I am not interested in one distribution for everybody. If that is 80%, then so be it. I am not intersted in becoming the largest OS, or be a replacement of Windows or whatever. I just want the best distribution for me.
we must halt forgetting them. they are the scope of an open source product. they are the future.
open source is not identical to openSUSE. If you are interested in a distro that can run on every hardware ever made, I think it is better to concentrate on a different distribution. DSL is good in that way. There are other distribution specialized in older or lowerend hardware. For me it is simple, buy new hardware or use a different distribution. Sounds harsh? It isn't. With Linux you have the choice to find a solution that fits you. That solution must not always be Novell.
stop thinking anybody can afford opteron 2 gb ram 300 gb HD computer.
No I won't. I know I can afford one. For lowerend machines there are different distributions. I am in it to make the best OS for me, not for ex-windows users or people with old hardware.
if openSUSE must spread the world, it must run on low end machines first. this is a market windows let alone (any way this market didn't buy windows but stole it :-), we should not do the same.
I disagree. I would say that if openSUSE and Novell were to conentrate on these lowend machines, they were taking away time (and money) from development of SUSE. I realy don't care that low-end machine can't run SUSE. I have a 486 and it won't run SUSE. So what? I just run a different distribution on it. I am completely and utterly against the idea that SUSE should be the solution for each and every machine and situation. -- houghi Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org
