I think I missed most of this ... how did everything turn racist? That's just not on and should stop. The original comment on support I think may be a valid one. If Novell wants to break into the desktop market in a serious way then there should be more information available. I have been trying to get a desktop to allow log in through a Windows domain and have tried many things to no avail. I also was told that the question was a chargeable one. This in itself is fair enough however the big difference between Microsoft and Suse (for example) is that Microsoft have on their site a huge amount of information, white papers, and 'best practice' documents that anyone can look through. The basics are normally covered so if you are simply evaluating a product you can do this without real cost. I have purchased SUSE 9.2 and love it in my home environment (not as much as my OS/X though) but as I run business systems am interested in finding a real alternative to the MS desktop. If the basic testing and something that should be fairly straight forward is made chargeable I start to feel that as time goes on the support costs will become a lot higher than the cost with regard to using MS. It all depends if you want to move out of the 'enthusiastic experimental' market and challenge properly. Were the support on these items free and the test successful the subsequent rollout would more than cover the costs involved in resolving what must be a fundamental question raised. Blah, blah, blah. BTW we do have snaps in the UK ... diluted maybe, softer for sure, but still snaps!

There is no insult, in hearing people make comments, generalizations and comparisons. If you (Bald Willy) feel an insult, youre no better than he is.
***yes ! a glimmer of intelligent philosophy there Orn :) you are too good for this newsgroup, why not take up linux instead, and you may even become helpful one day.
@Marshall: If you think that comparing a person living in Germany or Austria to Hitler will not seriously insult this person, you are a very sick puppy. There is no excuse for doing things like this. By comparing someone to Hitler you are implicitely saying that he/she behaves like a Neo-Nazi. You seem to have absolutely no clue what this means to the person... By chance: Did you ever visit a KZ to see first-hand what the Hitler regime did to people? If not, then I would strongly encourage you to do this and get your Hitler-picture right again. If you afterwards still feel the need of comparing living persons to Hitler, noone can help you. @Örn: You ought to know that there have to be some guidelines in conversation and limits in what is allowed and what is not: Comparing someone to Hitler - even if based on ignorance - is definitely one step too far! I see no reason why I should tolerate this behaviour and why I am not allowed to speak up. You really want me to shut up?! There is no joking on that issue.
