Re:Yes They Have

By 10.2, SUSE was back to its standard, highly-polished state. A polished turd is still a turd. How can you still trust a distribution/company that screws something as fundamental and important as updates as Novell did? Does 10.3 still rely on Zen and mono?

I am PROUD just because...in this place it seems like using Windows is a shame. Well, I'm not ashamed of that. Oh, and I use Linuzz as a server, and I have a Mak as well, but nobody here finds THAT to be insulting. Go figure.

Screw that. In the real world, Mono is a disease, Wine is something you drink. Sure, wine might be necessary for getting some external (read Windows) crap to run, but there was NO excuse for making a wine-requiring product a core "feature". "PE", or "Portable Executable" isn't. Its proprietary to Windows only.

Most of us who use opensuse day to day have gotten rid of zdm.exe, killed off beagle, and would like very much for Miguel to take mono and shove it. We already have a better OS than Microsofts' ... why mess it up trying to immitate their crap?
