I can imagine administrator's problems, but limiting functionality would not help. Mentioned RH 9 is 3 CD's (1.8 GB) and I wasn't happy, except with consistency of visual appearance. It was missing or partially implemented functionality that made me to abandon it. Basic openSUSE graphic installation is about 800 MB, but it is pretty useless. Basic KDE, so far I recall is 1.2.GB, and it is useful. Both numbers are bit obsolete, but underlaying reason for the size is open source development where developers use tools that they know, which builds up number of dependencies. I mentioned Ubuntu / Kubuntu, they have one CD images, so it is probably the time to see what they have to offer and compare to SUSE. Last time I wasn't impressed. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
