Comment SuSE showed me the money... (Score 1) 118
Why, you ask, is SuSE getting all kinds of play? Well, friends, last week I went to CompUSA (yeah, I know...) to look for the new RedHat 6.0 distrib. I have 5.2, so why not stay with what I know as a relative newbie, right?
What should greet my eyes: RH6.0 is ONLY $79.99. Huh? I didn't pay that much for Windows NT f'cryin' out loud!
And what's next to that $79 RH6.0 package on the shelf? SuSE 6.1 for $29.95. Next stoopid question?
I don't know what is the RH strategy here, but they lost a potentially loyal buyer of 5.0 and 5.2. I just didn't want to start all over again with a different distribution. Well, I did, and it was a relatively simple transition. New ppp & TCP issues resolved easily. Lotz of new toys, etc.
And now I don't even need no steenkin' distribution!! ;-}
