Now that it is my only OS > at home, yea verily sing praises and pass the plate brother! i like suse almost as much as mandrake, but i loaded it once, and will never do so again. damn difficult ftp installer rather than ISO's! and it is still free, just harder to get to. that cost them a customer. i do not buy cars without test drives, do not buy CD's until i have heard at least half the songs on them, and will not buy an OS i can't try first. BUT, i happily buy cars i like after i try them, buy all the CD's from artists whos MP3's i file swaped and like enough to keep on my drive, and give lots of money to my favorite OS. i think those who can not understand the mentality of the linux community, and expect them to pay for nothing, will not last long. those who do understand will get paid if they build a good product. call me polyanna. > (I hope the young whipper-snappers out there still listen to Bobby D) does 30 something make me a whipper snapper or an old goat? i can never recall........... but i listen from time to time. -- "When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows', people just stare at you blankly and say 'Hey, I got those with the system, *for free*'." - Linus Torvalds shane Profile at: http://dmoz.org/profiles/shen.html Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 Mandrake Users Club Member http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/club/ Registered linux user #101606 @ http://counter.li.org/
