I have been a linux advocate for I think, 4+ yrs now, moved from NT 3.51 and I am happily learning Linux slowly. I was mentored thankfully by someone much younger than myself and we loaded Red Hat 2.0 with kernel 1.2.13 if I remember correctly. So I was a Red Hat user through 5.0, and when Red Hat rolled out glibc, that was my the same time SuSE sent me 2 copies of SuSE 5.0. I let them sit for about a month, then another friend came over and talked me into trying SuSE out. It was definitely different but once I fuigured out what the scripts were doing, and how yast works, and how to get PPP up, all was well. In fact, I had then and now, prefer SuSE. Well it was not only SuSE's distribution that convinced me, but all the problems of glibc and Red Hat 5.0. It was a hairball and I didn't have time to deal with the many issues surrounding the fixes. (Of course Red Hat is a great team and distribution, I support Red Hat by helping many a user who runs Red Hat.) Therefore, I want to thank SuSE for holding back and waiting, not being a copycat, setting a quality standard for Linux. SuSE 6.0 works wonderfully, and I have none of the issues that scared me originally regarding a move to glibc. Yes, I am more familiar with Linux in general but the truth is evident. SuSE did the right thing. Seems like the U.S. office changes faces regulary and this is hard for us Amercicans, but the product is at least as good, if not superior to any distribution. I have advocated SuSE to many and continue to do so.
