SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the screenshots-o-plenty dept.

LinuxLasVegas writes "SuSE announced a new release today titled "SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0". The distro is built on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.x technology and comes with Crossover Office 2.0. Mad Penguin has the first review of this release. From what I read, it seems like a good release, but for the $600 price tag, I'm not sure if it would be worth the jump..."

  3. I need help [Completely OT] by J.D.+Hogg · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm doing a little art project that involves getting as much spam as I can to a spam hole on yahoomail. I'm looking to get as much 419 nigerian scams, mlm scams, penis enlargement, chain-letters, investments ... mails as possible. I've tried to d/l some of the latest spams received by the spam archive (http://www.spamarchive.prg/) and answering it to hook the spammers, but I don't seem to get any, and half of those reply-to addresses are deprecated already. The junk mail filter in my dummy yahoomail account is turned off, but still nothing comes through.

    So, if some of you get a lot of spam, could you please respond to a few in my yahoomail's account name to start the syphon ? the address is :

    internetnoise@yahoo.com

    If you do help me, please don't sign-me up for free newsletters, or horoscopes or things like that : these aren't true spam/scams and I'd like to receive only those.

    I'm not trolling by the way, and I know this is OT, but I figured posting something on /. was the best way to jump-start that spam flood I need.

    BTW : the above is really my account. If you send a mail to it, I'll respond immediately.

      I have a hotmail account as well, but it seems you can never turn off the spam filter with it. With yahoo, it looks like there's no filter whatsoever as default, and you can tick off the "send bulk mail to junk folder" option.

      As for the 4mb limit, that's okay, I run yosucker on it every hour, so it'll never be full.

    What's the deal with version 1.0? Did they wrap around the data type holder with their constant version upgrades and have to wrap around?

    is this about that 80 lines in the source thing? if so, wouldn't it be just possible to go in an re-write thoughs 80 lines? you know, say the same thing in a different way? ie: Hello = Hi

  6. The grammar fairy says... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow. I guess they want the crowd that thinks xp and 2000 is to cheap.

    Perhaps this is just a typo on your part, but here's today's lesson anyhow:

    The word 'too' is the word for 'more than enough', the sense you're trying to use: ...the crowd that thinks xp and 200 is too cheap.

    Knowing where to use 'to' (like that sentence!) *is* tough, dictionary.com lists no more than sixteen definitions. The easiest way to tell the difference may well be to remember when to use "too" and "two", and then use "to" everywhere else.

    Keep Typing!

      I think the grammar fairy needs to be hit over the head with a brick, and maybe a two-by-four too.

    Why is SuSE still partnering with SCO? Why would I want to give them $600 while they're partnering with SCO?

    It's not an irrelevant question. There statement of May 15 is not enough.
