Since Ubuntu can do then why not us? But I understand that Canonicals
Ltd. is a more rich company which could do this... However, at the
same time, I feel openSUSE is better than Ubuntu. I wish openSUSE were
as rich as Canonicals so that even the newbies could have been
supported with a technical list concerned more to them....Hmm, as I
said, I would look at: fourms, thanks.

Even better idea, how about we make a list where people come mow my lawn
for free? I'm a lawn newbie and I don't have time to do it myself. Other
people who know a lot about lawns and own lawnmowers should share their
lawnmowers and their saturdays with lawn newbies.

Look, we frankly aren't based on the idea of noob-friendliness. Frankly
though, with YaST and a strong stance on security we actually wind up being
more friendly than most. And a mailing list isn't a matter of wealth, and even
if it was Canonical isn't doing better than the companies under Attachmate.
From most estimates I'm aware of, Canonical isn't even profitable.
