Re: [opensuse] RC1 and 1-CDs all working GREAT!!

[john bartee]

Andreas, Carl, et al, I just installed the KDE 1-CD-INSTALL now and I am very impressed. This is a really great product. I am hoping to convert my Oracle folks to SUSE but it is more politics than anything.  I think the United Linux venture spoiled the soup a little, but I will do my best to spread the word. I have emailed Dave Hare VP, to take a look at this and move us toward OpenSuse for our desktops as well as servers. The ship is big and the rudder moves it very slowly.... but I am hopeful. I think a "KNOPPIX-like 1_CD" that could be popped into the drives of hardcode-Windows-devotees, would go a long way in spreading the movement. One with end-user applications instead of tech-weenie utilities so they can see that their key apps are there and the internet, mail, and aim/chat will not be sacrificed. A  one-CD "pop and swap", a flipper - a demo at their own desk, in their own chair, and on their own terms... with time to play around.                                               When you "chum" the waters, you catch more fish. :} JB Andreas Girardet wrote: been enjoying it... which is immensely... cause I think SUSE and Novell deserve as many converts/advocates at Oracle as they can get. Seems to me the combination is as natural as apple pie and ice cream (and I *love* apple We just ran a Roadshow with Oracle and HP here in New Zealand and the combination SUSE-Oracle was certainly appreciated, very natural and customers seem to love it. Could convert one of their engineers who held the Oracle course at the Roadshow to SUSE ;) .....
