No. You do not understand.

You talk about vendor support? Who cares. But since you seem to care, I have Blazing New Hardware, with Very "developed for Windows" hardware. I run Debian, with the Linux Kernel. Same as every other Distro. I have full support for nearly anything you can throw at Debian. It would be the same for your precious SuSE. Err Novell Linux... Impenetrable barrier? no... enlightenment makes all the difference, letting the pain happen until it registers. Then help them out of the pain. All that really matters is the damn binary format if you want to be real? Wow, I seem to be under the impression that Debian supplies Binary. And also includes all sources too. So, what is exactly the difference? Debian requires all software in the Main archive to be "Free" GPL qualifies but so do about 10 other licenses... including things such as Yast would be easy enough to do, if Yast would really support apt packages. Debian doesn't have a fucking chance in the corporate world! Another blanket statement. Not even what Debian is all about Ross. Debian Isn't COMMERCIAL, it isn't steered by Companies (like Fedora Core), it isn't FOR profit. You don't understand anything. Linuc in general is beyond you. You fail to comprehend the real differences.

Post #178,184 by folkert 10/7/04 9:26:28 AM Reply	Then you despise yourself? You religiously defend SuSE. You are saying SuSE is the end-all be-all Distro. I have said that Debian just plain works. I have made funny posts about the Religion of Debian, mainly because you will get tweaked about it and go off ranting and raving like a self-righteous defender of the SuSE Commercial Distro. I have given you direct points related to your ramblings, now you are calling me a religious zealot for Debian. Debian is MY choice to use. What you fail to understand is: I have a priority subscription to Slackware, a distributor discount for SuSE, have purchased numerous versions of other commercial versions of Linux; RedHat, Xandros, Conectiva. I also have used and like Gentoo, LFS, Lindows/Linspire, Lycoris... and others. Yet, YOU call me a Religious Zealot... Wow. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]

Post #178,193 by folkert 10/7/04 9:52:23 AM Reply	Yeah... I know. It is my love affair with Slackware that has everyone talking about me 2 timing Debian... Sheesh, hey it's only a "pain" thing. Gotta get it somewhere because Debian doesn't give it to me. And, I only get to get Slackware in the first round of Shipments out of them. Usually I get the Distro CD set the day before it is supposed to be available. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source] Here is an example: [link\|http://www.greymagic.com/security/advisories/gm001-ie/\|Executing arbitrary commands without Active Scripting or ActiveX when using Windows]
