Fujitsu Bundling SUSE Linux

WillAffleckUW writes "Fujitsu, which already offers Red Hat Linux on its servers, is announcing plans to offer SUSE Linux as well, according to an Infoworld article. Sadly, it's only for servers and services for Intel, not for AMD. Still, good news, in that you can go Red or Blue and still be Linux true!"

    Actually it could mean in Japanese Fu-jitsu, which if you wrote it in a different set of kanji, could mean "No-Skill"

    I have had the EXACT same experiences... especially installing Suse via their remote management board... what a fscking joke.

    We bought a crap load of their RX200's, RX300's, and RX600's, and they're a PITA.

    That being said, their phone support for Linux was VERY good (at least here in Canada, where you had to call some guy in Toronto). They answered a bunch of questions we had and supplied us with some drivers we needed, but all in all, Linux is a HUGE afterthought for these guys, with Windoze being their main focus.

    For that matter, we had a hellish time installing Windows on the boxes.

    I'll buy/recommend Fujitsu gear again. I'm very happy with a bunch of IBM blades that we just picked up... can't say enough about xCAT, their Linux cluster management software.

    I am a SuSE user, have been for about 3 years now. I used Mandrake before, and Mandrake has a gang of blue. Lemme tell ya, I *hate* green. It has taken me this long to get all the green out of my default settings in SuSE... And I am pretty sure there is some more in there somewhere!

    Where the hell did the poster get blue from???
