SuSE rolls out Linux Desktop 9.0 Posted September 29, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time SuSE Linux on Tuesday will do its bit to bridge the 34- and 64-bit worlds when it makes available its SuSE Linux 9.0 desktop operating system that supports 32- and 64-bit applications running on AMD's Athlon 64 processor. The new version, which supports NIFS file systems, reportedly gives users a foreshadowing of some of the capabilities of Version 2.6 of the upcoming Linux kernel due early next year. http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/09/29/HNsuse90_1.html -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."
