And my answer wasn't informational? OK. That's a matter of opinion.

OK. I guess the performance issue was discussed earlier (I remember a
discussion around 8.3 or somewhere in that timeframe), so why is it still
sluggish than? If SuSE tries to win the desktop (As they told during the
Linux Expo), I think they should do a better job at the performance. If it's
yast or configuration related: fix it. Find a way to get it right instead of
relying on fast hardware. If it's codesize or code optimizing related, again:
fix it. They have a reputation to keep. (And I haven't even mentioned the
fact that I paid around EUR 100,= for each and every version of SuSE )

First of all: What makes you a member... The fact that you have bought version
6.1 to 9.3 and using it or not?.... Tell me. Is there a decoderring involved?
Do you "members" have a secret handshake? It's all the same operating
system. Gentoo, Fedora, Debian, SuSE, name them all. It's basically the same
codebase with some patches and/or added packages... In my opinion a
distro-war is totally insane. If you don't like it, switch or build it
yourself. I was lazy and switched...

As for following lists:
Being a Linux developer (Userspace and kernel) since 1993 I'm always
interested in the issues that come along in other distro's than my own. I
also follow several Redhat related lists (Alpha and Intel), the Kernel
mailinglists, KDevelop, KDE-bugs. MICO and Qt-related stuff.

The sum of all the problems reported, will lead you to a general problem in
the software if all distro's report the same... True? That's why someone is
following several lists and occasionally answers a question... Just to
service the community by fixing problems in the software... Just for fun, not
for the credits..

I don't want to start a fight with anyone and I'm not looking for recognition.
I have my opinions and you are entitled to your own. That's the freedom we
have to give each other.
