I consider SuSE Linux a pretty good value. The install goe svery
quickly. Configuring takes a little more time. SuSE or any distribution
saves me the time of searching for apps and all that goes with that, not
an easy task for some one, who had only heard of U*nix a few years back.
One thing I think few people consider is the "unaccounted costs"
associated with M$, not to mention the high costs of apps.
SuSE is a privately held company and if one doesn't make a profit one
goes out of business, unless your government, then you tell everyone to
dig deeper.

Bob Russell

governments than by the manufacturing sector in the United States." Who
creates jobs and who just spends money?
