- despite being much faster this suse release is so damn cripled that is feeling like 7.3 edition
In which respect? Aside from mulimedia codecs, which has always been an issue, I can't think what has been crippled
- the dvd disc is not bootable
Yes it is, but ever since suse switched to DVDs in the first place, there are people who have problems with it. But if you have the box, you also have CDs
- find out the Novell was loosing expensive devel time to block apps and libs from running ok, even trying to compile new libraries was much harder
What on earth are you talking about?
- mp3 decoding is way wrong
No it isn't
- even ac3 decoding or a52lib is imposible to get even I had legal copies of dvd movies.
And this is new how exactly?
- amarok with helix plugin is getting shity quality even with high end sound sistems
No
- multimedia is so cripled that I am thinking for the first time in 10 years to switch to windows
Bull! There is absolutely nothing new with this, and the solution (packman) is the same as it has been for many years
- multimedia support is even better in windows nt4.0
Er, no it isn't. Not even out of the box
Novell, drop out the linux business, I never saw such a regress in linux development since SuSE was bought by you.
Troll. Novell has exactly nothing to do with the boxed products. It's still being developed by the exact same people as before
