Regards, Achim. What you have to remember is that openSUSE is still has its short and curlies in the firm grasp of Microsoft.
You don't think so?
Well, I suggested to a friend who is working on an important project which will benefit thousands of disadvantaged people to use the openSUSE's OBS. His reaction was - well, I won't embarrass you with it but it left me in no doubt that openSUSE's association with Microsoft has not been forgotten nor will ever be forgotten.
As the Actress said to the Bishop, "Trust once gone can never be regained."
Basil, this is opensuse-factory not opensuse-gossip-sharing. Nothing of what you said has anything to do with the thread, so behave!
Greetings, Stephan
I know that but you have to admit that openSUSE has a big PR problem. And this is not gossiping but trying to point out something important. The view "out there" is what I summarised above. And its not going to go away when someone like Andrey Borzenkov posts this 2 days ago in *this* list: quote What are you trying to achieve? openSUSE is using bootloader signed by Microsoft, so it normally should not be necessary. Further verification is done by this bootloader which already knows openSUSE key. unquote Passing on the beliefs of those who do not use openSUSE is not gossip but stating reality. And if you or anyone else who considers this to be "gossip" then accept my apologies (for stating the bleeding obvious).
