I now have two copies of SUSE Professional 7.3 and one copy of SUSE Professional 8. Thanks SUSE!
I will be conducting a ceremonial burning at the stake of the non-free distributions during the install day. Please bring your own kindling.
More seriously, I hear a rumour that SuSE are considering releasing YaST under a full-freedom licence.
SuSE need to do something to repair the damage caused by the changes they've made to the distro in V8.0. There are a lot of people pissed off with the way SuSE have turned their back on servers (and the CLI), and are heading, Microsoft-like, into newbie GUI land on the desktop.
I've been using SuSE since 5.3, but all my servers are going Gentoo now. I'm glad they pushed me into it really, because the bloat in SuSE (and RH, Mandrake et al) is getting ludicrous. Gentoo takes some getting used to, but I like it so far.
Cheers, Laurie.
