I must have a good look at the opeSUSE wiki, I'm
sure there is noteworthy stuff that describes HOWTO on openSUSE,

If we would put so much time writing on wiki, as we use on mail lists the
openSUSE wiki will be cited as reference on Linux, not only as good
documented distro.
I've never seen reference to the wiki in any reviews either. I quite
often will email the authors to correct mis-statements in their
articles. One of the most professional Linux writers I've come across
was De-Ann Le Blanc, she set up a mailing list and a wiki which she
referred to in her articles. She built up a small but excellent list
which was consulted in advance of publishing an article, so she could
get useful comments and suggestions, leading to well rounded articles.
Just as an example of the Ubuntu train, my Inbox this morning contained
yet another Ubuntu plug via an article on TechRepublic entitled "How to
Install VMWare Sever on Ubuntu Linux", as if VMWare didn't do the job
already and I see a number just about every day. Although they are
mostly fluff and the equivalent of the store supplying a manual telling
you how to use your key to open your door, it keeps their distro in the
public eye constantly. I'm not suggesting openSUSE descends to
publishing such crud, but a few choice articles would help.

Sid.
