SuSE 8.2 Announced
Venotar writes "It looks like SuSE's once more setting the bar pretty high. According to their recent announcement, SuSE 8.2's release date is set for April 12th. Amongst other nifty features, KDE 3.1 apparently includes tabbed browsing, the ability to sync with Exchange servers, a new administration tool called "Desktop sharing" that allows remote control of other desktops, and several interesting new crypto/security features. Gnome 2.2 is also included, as well as a profile manager for mobile users, and gcc 3.3. Have a lot of fun!"
Suse is pretty damned irrelevant. Next Slashdot will be running a story about the next release of Mandrake...
One man's "-1, Flamebait" is another man's "+1, Funny". See you in metamod, bitches!
ass!
...a German Company! Buying their stuff means supporting terrorism!
Overpriced software for the same qualities of any other distribution you'd find across the net like Slackware and Gentoo.
If you pay for it, it costs more than windows.
Such a bunch of cock lickers. Working your asses off to write code so a bunch of greasy conmen can sell it back to you.
Boioioioing
bink bink gong
No wonder you cant get laid
stupid Eurotrash.
I could buy Suse 8.2 CD's or I could download Mandrake 9.1 CD's. I think I'll stick w/ the distro that lets me know what I"m getting ahead of time.
Not only that, but Mandrake 9.1 is 1.10976 times better than Suse 8.2!
Shut up stupid Euro^H^H^H^HAmeritrash
You left Mandrake off of this list because of what?
:)).
Not that I want to start a distro war, but my personal experience with Mandrake is that it has decayed since mdk8.1 . The 8.2 release was b0rken in so many ways that it wasn't even funny (for me). When I tried participating in betatesting of 9.0 (I think), i reported lots of bugs. None of which even got a single reply. None of which was fixed. (hangups, not able to mount fat12/16 properly, and others (At least I couldn't get them to work
I've never had such problems with SuSE, which seems well tested when released. Personally I used mdk on all desktops from 7.0 to 8.1, used 8.2 on a couple of machines, both which broke so horribly that I've never been able to trust the distro since. I've tried 9.0, but wasn't overly impressed. SuSE on the other hand has worked flawlessly, and is my new favorite.
RedHat is, imho, only good for some server tasks where it is/was the only certified distro. But that is just my opinion.

The current situation most certainly has made France and Germany "enemies" of the United States. This is not about Iraq, or Oil, or terrorism.
This is about a Franco-Prussian alliance that is bent upon uniting to dominate Europe. Instead of marching armies, they are using diplomacy, access to markets, etc., to force everyone into this European Union that they are trying to structure so that France and Germany run it. As a result, the other states lose their independance. At least in the US, it is run by representatives of all 50 states. To goal of the Paris-Berlin axis is to structure a system such that the other nations all answer to this power duopoly.
Britain is strong enough to avoid being bullied, by openning up trade but retaining some autonomy. This latest temper-tantrum has shown many eastern European nations what they are getting into. Hopefully the US pulls a rabbit out of its hat and offers the "new" Europe nations a better option than the EU, otherwise we're just lying here while Paris and Berlin unite to dominate Europe through economic and political strength instead of armies.
The US is interested in the middle east because of oil. I really find it funny that all the peaceniks mention oil as though it's a secret that we care about the oil over there. The US acts to preserves its interests...
I realize that you guys all think that the President is an idiot, but did it EVER occur to you that MAYBE the reason we've been threatening to hit Iraq since 1998 was the realization that he's getting closer and closer? Is it possible that Bush went gung-ho on Iraq because of something that his intelligent briefings provided him?
Nah, must just be a way for him to pay off his oil buddies...
Just FYI the "it's about the oil" crowd, a free Iraq that pumps lots of oil and leaves OPEC actually reduces the price of crude oil. It's NOT clear that a lower price of crude benefits the oil companies. They make their money on high oil prices. In some ways they lose because of inelastic pricing... in some ways they win because of "cost+" accounting...

Just look at RedHat, they will probably cripple the hell out of desktop sharing because they don't want to make Gnome look bad.
So yeah, "it will include KDE" is not a given today.
