AMD Backs openSUSE with Huge New Infrastructure

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the money-where-mouth-is dept.

apokryphos writes "AMD has helped sponsor the progress of openSUSE with leading-edge hardware and development expertise. "AMD is helping to ensure that the openSUSE Build Service continues to be an important collaboration and development platform for developers of all distributions," said Terri Hall, AMD vice president of Commercial Systems Marketing. Are these continued announcements of huge support from large OEMs an indication of a new era?"

    AMD has helped sponsor the progress of openSUSE with leading-edge hardware and development expertise.


    So they donated Intel processors?

    "Or perhaps it is just a coincidence... but then again I don't believe in those."

    Funny, I was just about to say the same thing. Wait a minute! Who are you and how do you read my mind?

    I would very much prefer them to support Debian rather than openSUSE.

    Well I'd rather them support Ubuntu and my friend would rather Redhat. My dog likes Gentoo because he loves compiling.

    Every time a company tries 'throwing a bone' to the open source community and chooses a system to support (which will inevitably filter to the other distros), the linux geeks go, "But wait.. I like this distro instead."

    Just be happy; it's linux.
