Are u aware of the licensing - actually patent - issues. Any one redistributing to you will be in violation of Novell's patent deal with M$. M$ has the right to sue you and any other free-beer downloaders and users of the distro. Download at your own risk.
i guess we ought to start a switch off Suse campaign. That ought to send a message to Novell.
No, OpenSUSE has caused no harm. And its a community project.
How many Suse users here would be willing to migrate to say Debian or Fedora or anything else that is Free as in Freedom?
Don't worry guys apt and yum and give yast a real run for its money :-)
Heh, yum is no way close to apt in first place. And trust me Yast is good, the problem ( something which I personally heard SUSE devs/employees say ) is that Yast doesnot tell the user much what it is doing. But from what I understand Yast just *does* its job, which I thinks is pretty good enough.
Btw, I am Kubuntu user ( maybe a bit unhappy Kubuntu user at times, thanks to *optimisations* by them, I wonder why I don't build the whole thing from svn, since as it is I am building a large part of it daily. Time to change soon maybe ) .
Cheers!
