I think there is a mistunderstading here. Linux is not SuSe, Connectiva, RedHat or any other distro. So if you have a problem with one of them, don't blame all Linux, rather blame your distribution. Secondly Linux is for people who think on the longterm; it's true that it takes a hell of time to learn, but once you have learnt it becomes as easy as your Window$ and it's free forever. I think most people forget that they have passed so much time to learn Window$ to get to their current knowledge. And, unfortunately, they would just like to capitalize their Window$ knowledge into Linux. It does not work that way; you will have to suffer and learn! Just remember how painful it was when you moved from your old DOS to Window$ 3. It was not an easy migration and some companies took years to do so. Nobody is forced to use Linux, but if you use it you also accept the "risk". Don't blame anybody. All what you can ask is help. And there is. Just mail your problem and some gurus will pass a hell of their time trying to help you, free of charge! If this is not good, then you better continue to pay Bill.
