SuSE plans 2003 Linux desktop push | |
|
||
| Time: 08:24 EST/13:24 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
SuSE plans to announce in January an effort to bring the open-source Linux operating system to desktop computers, an attack on Microsoft that will be bolder than similar initiatives from Red Hat and Sun Microsystems. For its desktop Linux product, SuSE will enlist the aid of CodeWeavers, whose CrossOver Office software lets Microsoft Windows run on Intel-based Linux computers, said Holger Dyroff, general manager of the SuSE American division, during an interview at the Comdex Fall 2002 trade show on Monday. | ||

So Suse 8.0 shipped with kde 3.0.1. Yet I still don't see an announcement for the security problems that release has that were fixed in 3.0.3.
Suse 8.1 did ship with kde 3.0.3, yet there still is no announcement for the security problems that version had that were fixed in 3.0.4. Apparently when a Linux distribution ships a version, if you want any sort of patches for security related problems you have to wait to buy the next release. |

not entirely, Sodablue. You can patch to the newest code, but that's a royal pain in the butt under any version of linux except Gentoo.

| #3, Realist, RPM has failed to install or update anything for me on every version of Linux I've ever used (about a dozen), whereas Gentoo's portage system just plain ol' works. I think RPM, although nice, isn't that great. I like the portage system better. Like I said, RPM never worked right, leaving all sorts of nastiness for me to fix. Not fun. |

Cthulhu - "You can patch to the newest code, but that's a royal pain in the butt under any version of linux except Gentoo."
Uhh, why am I wasting my time buying a distribution then? Realist - "Umm, O.K. First of all since when does Suse equal every linux distro?" Redhat does the same thing. I'm still checking other distributions, most of them don't even bother to report updates/patches/security problems. "Thirdly, Suse 8.0 shipped with KDE 3.0 not 3.0.1 which was available as an update. " Sorry I was looking at their ProOffice 8.0: http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/pro_office/index.html "or you can go to Suse's ftp site where the 3.0.4 can be found as well. " But not listed here, which is the whole point. http://www.suse.com/us/security/index.html The discipline of Linux distribution companies is simply appalling when it comes to distributing security bulletins and offering up patches. Far worse than anything I've ever seen from Microsoft. |

Realist - "Now, since I'm sure this will turn into the typical Linux sucks thread, I'll be moving on to the rest of today's news. "
Yes yes, I know. We're not supposed to criticize Linux or hold it up to the same standards that we hold Microsoft to. |

Dang! blue still topped out the zealot list. What does a guy have to do to become the #1 evangelist around here?
Seriously, though.... kaboom, I'm not aware of your definition of fanatic. If it means that I don't attack Microsoft when they do dumb things, your wrong. If it means I can't see Microsoft's faults, your wrong. If it means I don't attack Windows when it has problems, your wrong. See my posts from last Friday about the 9x line and my opinion of Microsoft essentially dropping support for it by not writing new software (e.g. Office) for it. What is the correlation between being a Windows fanatic Linux, in your opinion? As for beeyp...He was a fool and a self proclaimed troll. If fanatic is a negative term, it is still too nice for him. I have nothing but contempt for his utter disrespect to all the visitors to this site. |

BobSmith - Another 3000 posts?
I love how Realist is in denial. :) |
| #8 By 1845 (12.254.206.177) at 11/20/2002 1:05:48 AM |
| Realist is nothing like beeyp. While he is clouded in his views on Palladium and DRM <grin>, I quite enjoy reading Real's posts. |

| blue, I think you'll always be tops. I also don't think I'll reach 6k for quite some time to come. |
