Pruned > Peter The ONLY headway bieng made so far is microSlopS into making a fast buck out of Linux . You talk of headway into the corperate sector well .. Fix the miriad of major show stoppers that were 10.1 and as far as i can see they are still there infesting 10.2 . Suse will never get anywhere with the hacked together bits like the painfully loathesome updater fiasco that was in 10.1 the self same infestation seems to have followed thru into 10.2 it MAY have a few more manners now but it is STILL there clutsing up the system , The original YOU update system may not have been the best thing sinced (British) sliced Bread but it was far better than zmd and friends . OpenSuse should fork and it should Retain the SuSe trademark and the Original ideals . Novell was a bad idea from day one Pete . Suse 10.0 x86-64 with no unwanted infestations . -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
