snip:
I do thank everyone who has contributed to this discussion. Once again
this group has shown itself to be far superior and useful than anything
Micro$ost could even dream of.
One thing I didn't make myself clear on is that I live in Australia.
(Not that I'm making excuses for that, it's the best place in the
world). What I mean is that 99.995% of Linux users here use Redhat.
That's not a bad thing, but personally I like the engineering principles
used by SuSE. (Stability and more applications rather than the newest
features released a little earlier). All I'm saying is that I'm doing my
best to not only show why Linux shits all over Windows, but to show why
SuSE is such a quality distribution. All this from a place where I've
only seen SuSE on sale from one place, They sell the full distribution
for $60 plus $10 postage. This is in itself a great price, but I know
that myself and many otheres here can't afford to pay that for every
release. Just as an example, all the newest red-hat distros are freely
available here from magazines and such. I've never even heard of a
magazine offering a SuSE upgrade. Best I've seen is from the same place
I bought my SuSE distro which was a 1-cd GPL version of SuSE for $6 plus
$7 postage fee (this would be delivered 6 weeks after the SuSE 6.0
became available on the SuSE ftp site. It really makes redhat seem that
much more attractive to the uninitiated (ie the newbie).
Anyway, I've been raving on a bit but all I can say is go Linux, go
SuSE, and show Microsoft why they've got every reason to shit themselves
now. Especially with all the Y2K problems they've been having.
hehehhehehehehehehehehe.
