I've noticed that - several banks use the same back end and they got upgraded recently, and if you don't have IE, it doesn't like it. This is very common with some US banking sites as of late unfortunately. RP BandiPat wrote: Firefox v2.0.0-8.1 Have any of you other users noticed it not wor

Mobile Homes is SIMILAR but not the same as Windows Briefcase - there is more automation to Mobile Homes, and also more automation than rsync and KDE syncing. The issue is syncing files on BOTH ends, which people often overlook. Here's a short tutorial: http://aplawrence.com/Basics/rsync.htm

Nope, he's not wrong, unfortunately. Mandriva suffered this fate, and Suse/Novell are suffering the same fate. It will take a while, but it's getting there. You have to realize that just because something is community oriented doesn't mean that money isn't creeping in somewhere. Microsoft

You obviously do not understand trademarks OR. copyright. Here's an example: Go put Microsoft "artwork" as you call it onto OpenSUSE. Watch how fast MS would sue for trademark infringement as well as copyright infringement. Trademarks can exist just as well as copyrights. Further, Novell c

Swearing aside, this was exactly my point. Anyone can "whitebox" OpenSUSE and simply remove the brandnames and graphics and you'd be fine. Yes, this is certainly a lot of work, as you'd need to leave in the correct copyright notices, etc. Lots of people do this with Cooker and Mandriva. RP

Novell cannot impose any restrictions by taking away anything that the GPL allows. You indeed can make a custom distro based upon all of the GPL & Open Source software in the source. Whitebox does this with RedHat. Perfectly legal. Maybe if Novell really doesn't allow redistribution for co

So SUSE *owes* you software? Just because you CAN get it for free doesn't mean that you should. The backbone of Open Source is that community members contribute, help fix flaws & security issues, as well as even write entire packages. Some work is done by commercial companies, but most is do
