I'm not going to comment on 99% of what Cliff said because he seems to have issues with things no matter how SuSE sets them up. [snip]
I'm not say that SuSE perfect...hell if anyone has read some of the things I've said about them or for you SuSE Oakland people..we know SuSE has issues, but damn it so do a lot of other software companies. [snip]
I'm just amazed at the stupidity of some people who complain about what you get when you buy SuSE's products. I would say go check out Solaris or some of the other commercial Unix packages and see how their configuration is out of the box for servers. I would also say go look at the amount of software you get with Windows.
I just don't get it.
Neither do I. I wish Cliff well. If he is happy with Slackware the more power to him. I think his problem was similar to mine for a while. The more you know about Linux and SuSE the less likely you are to read the new documentation the accompanies every release. Bad move. My own experience since SuSE 5.3 (while dabbiling with RH, Mandrake and others through the years) is that SuSE is the best. My 7.3 Pro experience reinforces that view. Jerry
