Just thought I'd share this-- in light of the not-to-recent thread re:
S.u.S.E. promotionals in NA.
I was in some store the other day that sells software, to include but not
limited to the alternative OS's including Linux and BeOS, BSD etc...
Some guy was talking to a salesman in the store, and was asking which
dist he should pick to teach to his class-- and he emphasized he wanted a
dist that was easy to install. The salesman immmediately recommended
S.u.S.E. for ease of installation, wealth of apps, and configurability. He
also mentioned that 'S.u.S.E. is really taking off' and that he is now
selling more copies of S.u.S.E. than any other distribution-- quote:
"[..]it's even outselling RedHat right now.." ( He actually seemed
somewhat bemused and surprised by this, but not unpleasantly so.)
I thought this was kinda cool. I don't know if this store is typical, but
I figured I'd share it given all the discussion of marketting the NA and
S.u.S.E. we have had in here. Nice to know in some cases S.u.S.E. in NA,
even if it's atypical, that S.u.S.E. is clearly the dist of choice, not
only did it hold its own with RedHat among Linux buyers and newbies-- in
this one case it seems to have clearly beaten RedHat...
Anyway, Please resume your regularly scheduled programming.
Michael
