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!"

    America is nearly at war, and now is not the time to be supporting the enemy. The fact is that SuSE is a GERMAN for-profit company, which means that every time you install SuSE you give a little bit of money to some krauts. Normally this wouldn't be so bad, but as I'm sure you've all heard, Germany is OPPOSED to the US in the pending attack on Iraq. They are refusing to help us, just like a second grade child. They would rather be gassed by an evil dictator than lift a finger to do the just and right thing.

    Not that I'm suprised. After all, Germany is the country of Hitler. In order to support the war effort, patriotic Americans MUST uninstall SuSE from all their machines. Also, I suggest you not buy any other German product such as Mercedes Benzes or BMWs and instead buy American goods such as Fords. I do not suggest hacking into SuSE machines around the world and formatting their disks because that would be illegal(WINK WINK). It is true that buying a German product like SuSE does not make you a terrorist, but by supporting Germany you are indirectly supporting terrorism!

    > I agree they have to make some revenue to pay their programmers.

    Actually, they don't HAVE to. Since they are a German company, they could get in bed with France and build up some lucrative oil contracts with Iraq while selling illegal arms to North Korea on the side.

    I agree on the suse thing. I find the gui on suse 8.1 suprisingly better. Notice the sharpness of the text, this one shows a themable login screen with vnc support.

    Redhat has a crippled kde that uses part of the gnome interface underneath. I prefer suse anyday for my workstation.

    GNU/Linux was DESIGNED to be free.
    If you want it so people have to pay for it, then go and work for Microsoft's marketing department, don't turn GNU/Linux into what it was made to oppose.
