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!"

    we can still use SuSe and be patriots, i hear they're renaming it "freedom linux" and all of the development team are going to come to the US and join the army so that they can die for our SUVs.

      Personally, I don't think the above 2 are trolls. They are responding to a stupid idea.

      Now I'm going to go out and buy some FRENCH fries and FRENCH kiss my girlfriend, and then laugh at the morons who are going to boycott things in the name of GWB's manhood.

      (Even more OT: The origin of the word "France" is "Frank", which originally meant "a free man", so France meant "home of free men". Almost kinda sorta maybe justifies those idiots eating "freedom toast"...)

    I just finished copying all 7 CD's of 8.1 and they release another. I just SuSE had apt, then I could upgrade easy.

    I've never liked SuSE. And not because it's a bad distro or because it needs a quite powerfull computer to work fine. It's beacause of that damn sick green.

    "Random Linux Distro" Kshu, we've just released the ultimate linux distro! It integerates seamlessly with just about any piece of software you can think of!! Please download our ISO's or buy our cd's.

    "Kshu" Wow! Finally I can use decent, stable softwa.. wait a minute. Green?!! GREEN!!!! Fuck that!

    Well you must be, if you don't even have time to read over your Slashdot posts!

    But, uh, that does get me thinking ... if you have time to post on Slashdot at all, you can't possibly be that busy....

  7. Be Dope Linux is still the best by Bulln-Bulln · · Score: 1, Funny

    Be Dope Linux is by far the best Linux distro. Unlike all the other distros, Be Dope Linux has a killer feature called AVN (Advanced Version Numbering).
    Ha! Beat that, SuSE!

  8. The Zen View by LazloToth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, SuSE and RedHat are not separate entities, but part of all Linux. And Linux is part of all operating systems.

    So there is no "either/or" - - all are the same. The one you have before you in this moment is the only one, and at the same time, it is every one. Give your full attention to the OS before you, and see all that it is. When you run Redhat, everything is Redhat; when you run SuSE, everything is SuSE. There is no quality that is "SuSE." There is no quality that makes RedHat "RedHat." What will you take away from SuSE to make it not-SuSE? So there is no identity to take away, or to give. There is no form to take away. In emptiness, we are all one.
