Since NLD (Novell Linux Desktop) is being adopted internally, laptop support is a very high priority and there is a lot of work ongoing. 9.2 has some significant improvements in this regard, and it will continue to improve.
SUSE has been a long time supporter of and contributor to the LSB effort, and as far as I know, will continue to be. No pressure from our friends at IBM or HP is necessary.

There's only about a dozen RPM repositories for Fedora Core to chase various packages down from. This is the one biggest thing that makes me dump SuSE every time and head back to Gentoo. Instead of Pacman and usr-local-bin and etc. etc. etc., would it really be so hard to have a "contributed" repository maintained by SuSE (and "known" to YaST at install time), where these places (and god knows what others) just submit their packages to?
And then who would be responsible when some inserts malicious code into one of those packages that is put into a "blessed" repository?
SpamCop has set up a legal defense fund to defend against legal challenges like those brought by Optinrealbig.com. If you wish to contribute, please see our website at http://www.spamcop.net/. All donations will be kept in a separate account and will be used solely for the defense of any legal actions brought against SpamCop and/or its parent company, IronPort Systems.
Seems to me that Spamcop is now a commercial company, so why is it appropriate to ask for contributions? Isn't defending against lawsuits a cost of doing business?
Oh and P.S. Spamcop, as much as I think Richter and his ilk deserve prison time, unfortunately his case has merit.
It's a resonable question. No, I'm about the furthest thing from a Windows Admin you could find(unless you count the two Windows instances I have at home.) And I'm not responsible for the transition, I was just responding to seeing a mix of technical(but non-Linux experienced) & non-technical people in the organization doing Bad Things(TM). When said things were pointed out to them, they requested a do's&don't document, which I was elated to see them ask for.
With regards to your suggestion, I appreciate it, however it isn't at all applicable to this environment (highly distributed workforce.)

Those that think Obama would be more likely to pardon Snowden clearly haven't been paying attention.
It has been done, and is trivial to do. The problem isn't technical, it's social; people actually need to use it...
Not even once.

True, except Sun pays SUSE for the base distro for their(Sun's) desktop product.

You can change your wireless settings through YaST. Network Devices -> Network Cards

You will hopefully be happy to know that we just recently GPL'd YaST.

IANAL, but my understanding of seeking a Dissmissal with Prejudice means that they can't ever bring the case to court again.

You are correct; it's "soo-sah"

Ummm, they've been on the 2.4 for quite a while. SLES9 will be based on 2.6 (due out second quarter of this year.)
Don't the news outlets report "FCC moves to erode fair-use rights?" Are they daft or just owned?
