Seems like Suse Linux is under fire lately.
Funny. Only yesterday I was at a client who ranted on SLOX and wanted desperately to get away from it. I’m not sure whether that Suse’s fault or the failing support form his current supplier.
But I guess Suse dropping support for Suse-integrated-to-Open-Exchange didn’t help, and still offering this product about a year ago was a bad idea from this supplier.
I guess boldly using open source is not the magical answer. You still need some clue.
To quote that customer: “Yeah, that Zimbra thing looks like something to sell.”
Let’s keep our thumbs crossed.

Well, I didn’t really attack Suse, didn’t I? I’m just pointing out why some people prefer something else, and sometimes I agree.
I know Novell come from far. But this isn’t a reason not to judge them now. If they don’t provide what I (or my customers) need, I’m fully entitled to go look elsewhere. Why can’t I compare with Redhat? I need Linux software and I wan’t it to be Open Source. Seems like a reasonable thing to do. Besides. I compare not Novell but Suse.
Serge, you didn’t attack SuSE , my post was more in general so nothing personal
I just want to point out in my post that there is also a different point of view on the entire SuSE/Novell story (people don’t always know this stuff)
And off course you need to judge them , I swear and rant on them maybe even the most (If you count the number of my posts on their bugzilla
but I’m fully confident that things will only become better.
