SuSE 8.0 Now Shipping

MobyTurbo writes "Well, it's technically a day late, but SuSE Linux 8.0 is now shipping. The increase from 7.3 to 8.0 is due to the inclusion of KDE 3.0, a SuSE-modified kernel version 2.4.18 (with Andre's VM), an improved firewall, among other packages that have been upgraded or added. (Including a couple of new games. :-) )"

    The basic differences are:

    Suse is by fat, sausage scoffing crauts.
    Mandrake is by irritating, garlic loving frogs.
    Red Hat is by noisy, burger munching Yankees.

    Take your pick.

    *laugh* however, quick speeling flame: it's usually 'krauts', not 'crauts', after sauerkraut. Yes, we name a country's residents after.. a type of cabbage.

    Still I'm not sure if that's worse or better than frogs, wops or dagoes (French, Italian and Spanish respectively, but not respectfully).

    7.3 + 3.0 + 2.4.18 = 8.0 ???

    Maybe some of those other packages had negative version numbers.

    I'm using RedHat 7.2 right now, but it isn't very stable - Galeon occasionally locks everything up solid. So I need a way out.
    I thought that the way out was already found.

    I decided to use Gnome instead

    And this is helping your CPU usage how, exactly ?

    You'll be able to do an FTP install in about 3 weeks to 4 weeks.

    You really ought to get DSL or something if it takes that long
