    Yes, certainly, to a Linux distro!

    Who cares?

    No, really.

    Why dont you open a "register reviews something" section. You can use goatse.cx as the icon.

    Lunix is NOT ready for the desktop. Its slow, clunky, and none of the open sores products are even done. I dont want version 0.1.23.5 software with 50 bugs and a dozen missing features.

      How about Version XP with a hefty pricetag and no benefits to upgrading from 2000? You still get the bugs and missing features though.

    Why is this Iraqi "Official" any more funny than Good Cop (Powel) Bad Cop (Rumsfeld) are at telling Americans the truth. How about those Weapons of Mass Destruction?

    If you think SuSE is a nice distro for newbies: forget it. It takes ages until you've got it running smoothly. Once it works, it works, but it's not much different from any other disto. The install's horrible.

    Here we have yet another boy who thinks he's the center of the universe, and therefore whatever affects him personally applies to everyone else.

    I've done so many installs of 8.2 by now I've lost count, and not a single one of them had any problems. No crashes, no lockups, no hardware difficulties, very quick and painless. So my (now extensive) experience directly contradicts your own, for which I have to say: it's either you or your system, and not SuSe.

    I'm glad to see that Linux distributions are so sophisticated now that the user can now be blamed for any problems that cause them not to work on a given setup!

    They usually can. Most of the 'problems' I see with Linux installations are with morons who don't bother to see if their hardware is actually supported before doing an install. Then they get all sorts of strange problems and blame Linux for their own lazy stupidity.

    Linux isn't for everyone. If you can't stir yourself to do a minimum of research prior to installing - like checking out your hardware to make sure it's supported - then you should really stick with Windows.

    That's right, I said "stick with Windows". Not only would it cut down on posts like this complaining that Linux 'doesn't work right' (when in reality it's the user that isn't working right), but it would put an end to all those twits arguing over whether Linux is 'ready for the desktop'.

    Neither, smid. As alluded to in the originating thread, the Register is rarely kind, but additionally, there seems to be something of an anti-American backlash in the british tabs these days, so it seemed kinda apropo... or funny, take your pick.
    To be fair, and show that I didn't think the article was truly slanted because SuSE is german, I admitted that I use it myself, in leiu of Red Hat, for instance.
