I must type a bigger smiley and explain it is a joke, next time.

If they hold back the development of SUSE, yes. I am not interested in one distribution for everybody. If that is 80%, then so be it. I am not intersted in becoming the largest OS, or be a replacement of Windows or whatever. I just want the best distribution for me. > we must halt forgetting them. they are the scope of an open > source product. they are the future. open source is not identical to openSUSE. If you are interested in a distro that can run on every hardware ever made, I think it is better to concentrate on a different distribution. DSL is good in that way. There are other distribution specialized in older or lowerend hardware. For me it is simple, buy new hardware or use a different distribution. Sounds harsh? It isn't. With Linux you have the choice to find a solution that fits you. That solution must not always be Novell. > stop thinking anybody can afford opteron 2 gb ram 300 gb HD > computer. No I won't. I know I can afford one. For lowerend machines there are different distributions. I am in it to make the best OS for me, not for ex-windows users or people with old hardware. > if openSUSE must spread the world, it must run on low end > machines first. this is a market windows let alone (any way > this market didn't buy windows but stole it :-), we should > not do the same. I disagree. I would say that if openSUSE and Novell were to conentrate on these lowend machines, they were taking away time (and money) from development of SUSE. I realy don't care that low-end machine can't run SUSE. I have a 486 and it won't run SUSE. So what? I just run a different distribution on it. I am completely and utterly against the idea that SUSE should be the solution for each and every machine and situation. -- houghi Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
