It is a very good operating system and I am enjoying it's benefits . I wholeheartedly submit my thanks TO all those who worked for the production and promotion of that version. As it is available at free of cost, and is commonly used by all the school students in our Kerala state(INDIA),it is very useful for the whole population. Our state Government offices also are using and promoting the use of Linux , as it is absolutely free AND USEFUL. Common people and pupils at ordinary schools are very happy and highly thankful to the team behind the LINUX as WE are getting a great chance to use computer and internet programs at free of cost. Actually this contribution of the LINEX team is a very great service to the mankind; especially to the people and children who are not in a position to purchase the costly items for computer operation. It is said ,Jesus Christ came to the world for saving sinners. The concept is that a person without guilty conscious will do good things in later life...relatively. The Linux came to the world though some good persons (most of them are males ) to save the poor people all over the world to save the people who are forced by evil spirits to use "pirated software". The divine birth of Linux helps the humanity to be free from guilty conscious and thus paves way for leading a happy and more worthy life. Naturally this situation will "give birth" to good generation and stimulate the whole mankind to lead a worthy life dedicated to GOD 'without guilty conscious' - all over the world. I humbly submit my wholehearted thanks and love to the whole and each members of the LINUX TEAM - all over the world.

Please tell me this is NOT what is coming. I HAD until last week been a happy Ubuntu/ Gnome user. I decided to upgrade, and the "Unity" crap brought me back to SUSE. I had run SUSE back around 2003, and gave up after a failed dual boot left me with an unaccessable hard drive. My junk hardware left me with hardware issues in Suse, and after playing with a few Linux distros, I ended up with Ubuntu But I have RESOLVED to stay with SUSE this time. Brand new Asus computer, brand new SUSE install. I do have a few issues. UNITY??? NO NO NO NO NO Joe, you said:

“On the other, you’ve got Debian, which comes out whenever the Hell the Debian team decides that it’s bloody well ready.”

Not my words, but the writer’s words. You should read his article thoroughly!

So, I took the opportunity to tell about my experience with a “new” or 24 months late Debian 6, which has so many DVDs, and NOT like OpenSuse, which even allows you to make your own distro in Suse Studio.

If you are a member of Suse studio, you may notice how easy to make your own distro and make an iso file. You may also notice that the “files” or “packages” don’t have to be that large as a Windows 7 minimalistic OS! Windows 7 doesn’t give you much, does it? Only few basic programs.

But, in Suse studio you can make a basic distro around 400Mb and download it and get into the internet immediately. And you’d have fun doing that. You can also test your “distro”, before downloading it. If it works in the testing, then it will work 1005 after you download it!

Most people don’t like the truth, just like the Egyptian Mubarak problem toady. All the Western leaders forgot that Egypt might open the border with Gaza and endanger the existence of Israel.

See, kitfer, the truth is quite hard to swallow.

Anyway, pal I am having fun with Suse Studio and building my own distro. If you have noticed that there is a place called Suse studio, you are lucky, if not find it in the OpenSuse website!

Why waste time with an archaic Debian, when we have OpenSuse and Suse Studio?

By the way, you are NOT a OpenSuse user. Period!

Try also Slitaz…
