SUSE Linux Sold For $2.5 Billion (reuters.com)
Archangel Michael writes: Reuters is reporting that Britain's Micro Focus has agreed to sell its SUSE open-source enterprise software business to Swedish buyout group EQT Partners for $2.535 billion, lifting its shares 6 percent. Micro Focus, a serial acquirer that has been struggling to get to grips with a $8.8 billion Hewlett Packard Enterprise deal, said on Monday it would use some of the proceeds to reduce debt and could return some of the rest to shareholders. SUSE is used by banks, universities and government agencies around the world and is a pioneer in enterprise-grade Linux software serving companies such as Air India, Daimler and Total.
All the main distros use it because it is good, a huge improvement.
If it is causing you problems, my advice is to look for some kind of "linux for dummies" type of book. Or better, stop pretending you're a sysadmin and breaking your web terminal; try sticking to the stuff in the GUI menu.
When you tell people to RTFM, they often don't realize the value provided! ;)
The reason for the emergency, an external data drive wasn't present.
So admin did something incredibly stupid requiring the automounting of an external device at boot time and is upset that his misconfiguration caused his system to boot.
Got it.
I use a CentOS 7 as a development workstation and multiple test, staging and production servers. All with systemd. It is reliable and gives me no trouble at all.
