At a press conference at the LinuxWorld coference earlier today, Novell CEO Jack Messman announced that his company will be withdrawing from the UnitedLinux partnership its newly acquired subsidiary SuSE had brokered with Linux vendors SCO, Conectiva, and TurboLinux. On other SuSE news, here is yet another review, this time from Sumeet Moghe.

Maybe there just is a lot of news about suse. I dont think OSNews´ news are chosen because Eugenia likes them, you can see the same topics on other tech sites.
(I´m sorry my english sucks)
>Eugenia you linked to a geocities site, you should know better =)
I know better. Geocities sucks, but that is not really my problem anymore. I read the article before linking it and it was up at that point. Wait for it to come back up.

News are news, I don’t make them, I just report on them. Slackware remains my favorite from the whole bunch.
I didn’t know! I mean, I am a slackware fan myself, and I would have noticed if this site had even the slightest slant towards Slackware. It doesn’t, and this should be the best credit to OsNews – the fact that I didn’t even know or suspect that the chief editor is a Slackware head like me.
“The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.”
I guess this site is a little Slashdot.
Who cares, no one uses it. 96% of all desktops is Windows, nuff said.
“Let me guess, the author of the story did not demostrate the ‘cut and paste’ fucntionality because it does not work!”
By that logic, it doesn’t work in Windows XP either since no review of XP ever made mention of ‘cut and paste’ fucntionality. For that matter, they didn’t mention being able to move the cursor with the arrow keys on the keyboard in XP so I guess that doesn’t work either. Boy, XP must be really primative if it’s missing so many obvious and basic functions that they aren’t mentioned one-by-one in their reviews.
My company made a lot of investment in UL, its a shame it ended before it began. Oh well, I hope SuSE doesnt abandon its old partners.
What in the hell does that mean? I use OpenOffice, Kate, Kedit, joe, Konqueror, Mozilla, and GFTP, and I can cut and paste between all of them…
Also, Linux has been easier to install than windows ever since Mandrake came out with their graphical DrakConf installer in v7.2. Choose Expert, and configure everything graphically in the install program, and reboot to a system where all drivers are installed and networking works. Now it is even easier, with 4 click installs and such…
mdk 9.2 rocks btw… the .2 versions have all been good.
I can do it with the bash — but not with the freakin’ “DOS-box” of my W2K.. so what…
Is this guy high or what?
copy and paste works fine for me.
I also like how you can mix and match unix style copy and paste with windows style.
