Jesus! what a whining!
It looks like you [americans] want everything to go the pizza hut or
mcdonald's way ... even what OSes are concerned. Sorry of the
flame but I am somehow fed up by that kind of super-market
mentality.
Anyway ...

] I couldn't agree more with this. I have to admit that despite the fact that

] various support channels and, of course, things like an up to date and
] comprehensive web site and, generally, a strong and attentive company
] backing it. And, one must remember the mantra invoked by most strong companies
] (RedHat?), IMAGE, IMAGE IMAGE Else, like someone on here so correctly said,
] SuSE becomes the Amiga, the OS2, etc. I like SuSE a lot, but I am feeling less
] and less like putting up with being in the minority's minority (even given that
] I have a slightly better product) and with difficulties in getting what I want
] when I want it (like RPM's! and up to date WebPages). If SuSE doesn't shift
] into high gear, I fear that even your above average computer user, who
] appreciates what SuSE has to offer over other distbns, will find themselves
] nonetheless considering other distbns for these myriad reasons.

] To end this all on a nice note: Go SuSE!
