SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look
Tripperfish writes "Mad Penguin's Adam Doxtater has published an in-depth review of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, Novell's alleged 'Vista Killer.' From the article: 'SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 is a very capable, industrial strength desktop which is ready to take on basic desktop chores in the corporate environment, and for the price you simply cannot go wrong. ' The review comes complete with screenshots and Flash movies of the install, new GNOME interface, and Beagle in action."
On Gentoo 2.17 vanilla sources have the broadcomm driver available, which works tolerably well with encrypted wireless networks. So try Gentoo.
Some folks code for the fun of it, and other folks profit from their labors ? SIGH !
If your jack ass took the time to read my reply you'd notice I dont wanna have to bothered with running an ap on top of an ap. Please let me tinker and waste more of my time. Why dont I just stick with windows.
I said make it look like Outlook. Skin it exactly like outlook. Habbits are hard to change but not when the sorrounding are similar. Just ask people how long it takes to get use to using firefox instead of IE. Most people that I talked it took them a while to get use to ingoring the blue e and always open up Firefox first.
Sounds like a personal problem.

"Novell employs more Gtk/Mono hackers than anyone else. Miquel De Icaza the founder of the Gnome project and Mono is pretty much the honcho over there."
Yes, and Miguel is kind of an idiot in a lot of ways. Under his direction it took an unbelievable number of years to achieve even basic stability so the the panel wouldn't keep crashing. Let alone usability while always seems to get ignored in favor of the latest cool and more bloated tech bandwagon to jump on. I mean, corba, give me a break, it got eaten by its own mother and Miguel still didn't take the hint. Mono... what can I say, blech and double blech. Gconf... cripes.
Miguel's main talent is self promotion, pure and simple.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
I have been a faithfull SuSE user since 1998. I know a lot about SuSE and how to use it. At this time I am in the process of conjuring a gambling website. I would not even know how to do this on windows (I have been a Visual Basic, Delphi programmer for years so I know windows). So I have compelling reasons to use linux although I can't really express why some programming things are so much easier on linux than on windows. (Somehow I believe the complete integration of python, php and javascript in linux makes it so much easier to use than windows.). Then there is my father. He uses all kinds of office tools and he will never see a compelling reason to switch to linux. Office tool integration is so much better on windows he tells me. So will SuSE be a windows killer? For web-programmers linux certainly has windows killing potential but for office workers it simply does not. And in this world there are far more office workers than programmers. So it will certainly take a long time when ordinary users will use linux. Might happen in 10 or 20 years but it certainly does not happen today or tomorrow. Inertia anyone!
It is Jim Slashdotter, bastard!!!
