Beautiful roses have deadly thorns
It is fair to argue that OpenSUSE is a very decent desktop (Novell's sins aside). That's just an objective assessment. Here is a standard desktop experience with Beryl, illustrated with OpenSUSE 10.2 and KDE.
There is nothing exceptional about the following video, but it probably shows a defect in OpenSUSE, which is unable to proceed with installation. No known cause is specified.
When you use SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, you help Novell.
Please, please please stop spreading this FUD Roy. When you use an OPEN distribution of Linux you help LINUX. It's called openSUSE for a reason. You're not "helping Novell" by using openSUSE any more than you're "helping" RedHat when you run Fedora. Would you say you're hurting RedHat by running CentOS? So along those lines of thinking everyone should stop running CentOS?

When a person runs OpenSUSE, he or she, as a potential system administrator, will be inclined to choose SLES/SLES for the enterprise. Moreover, there are bug reports, vanity figures for Novell, and upgrades (price-wise) to consider. We covered this before. A large OpenSUSE userbase is a great asset to Novell. Watch/follow the hyperlink above as well.
It would make sense for the EU to invest in its own workers and its own software projects, more so now that there are hostile countries both to the east and to the west
EPO workers are going on strike because their salaries don't keep up with price increases and tech companies without connections in "the channel" face long delays, low availability, and high prices (no "bulk" purchases), which further solidifies monopolies.
The Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH) has this new paper about Willis Towers Watson (WTW) and its annual EPO-sponsored propaganda, pretending all is well when things are clearly dire
Why does Europe's second-largest institution: 1) curtail communication among staff (including union) and 2) go out of its way to avoid obeying a court order from ILOAT in Geneva?
