First, you don’t seem to be capable of reading. Secondly, if you are that dependent on this OS, why don’t you buy it.

OMG, people please! What good is all the bitching, complaining, and fussing going to do anybody? You know I always thought my community was so much more above Winblows users. Mainly I felt this way because normally people who use UNIX flavors are more educated in the computer area. I was weaned off FreeBSD for my first taste of a UNIX styled OS. Back then you had to install your own X-Windows and pray it worked. Then I found SuSE LINUX, after trying many different distros. I loved SuSE from the start because it was the perfect solution to converting over unhappy Winblows users that were fed up dealing with MS crap. It allowed an easy conversion for the typical Winblows user to switch.

I always loved LINUX and other UNIX flavors simply because, unlike Winblows or other OS’s, if I don’t like the way a program works I can change it. Whereas with most other operating systems you are simply just stuck with whatever the programmer designed for you.

My Point:
Now a true NIX user knows how to use a mirror, in fact most would go to a more direct download to begin with rather than use the distros package center. Why? Because we know if we want the newest and latest we need to go to the source. A real NIX user wouldn’t need any “backup alternate” system built into his OS, he knows how to use other means or make his OS work the way he needs it to. A real NIX user always has a backup install method ready in case of no internet or other connection problems with a LIVE install. So although I love SuSE for all the automatic features it has remember this is LINUX. It seems to me considering all this the people who are complaining the most are most likely old Winblows users that are just plain spoiled by the simplicity of SuSE. Well, all I can say to those people are GET OVER IT! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND REALLY LEARN LINUX! Just like if you drive a car you should know how to change a tire, put gas in, and change the oil LEARN YOUR OS OF CHOICE!

If you are ignorant about how to fix something in NIX or make it work you only make yourself look MORE ignorant by complaining about something you simply do NOT understand. Now I admit, I was not very happy when Novell bought SuSE, but so far they have kept the entire community very happy with their OpenSuSE so quit complaining! If you don’t understand how to do something (like get to a mirror) all you have to do is ask…fellow community members are happy to help. But if all you want to do is complain “about” and “to” a company that is offering you a complete OS FREE and offering some of the best support I have seen for open source then go somewhere else! (And we ARE talking about a very robust FULL OS here, not some tiny little freeware web script!)

And as for asking for an apology from their staff etc.? (Alessandro Accardo) WTF kind of drugs are you on?!! I mean just who do you think you are? Wait, here’s an answer for you…none of us CARE who you are! STFU and go find another company to kiss your a$$!
——————————————————————————————————

TO SuSE:
THANK you so much for all your support and developments over the years…you have helped enlighten many people on the good things LINUX has to offer. Keep up the excellent work! =)

I don’t know if that is a wise combination.

Ask elsewhere? :-) The UPS units likely allowed graceful shutdowns.

Thanks for all of the updates! It does make me curious about one thing. What is your filesystem of choice there, and how quickly did it come back up? (I love real-world examples of filesystem stability in a power outage.)

I had no problem downloading updates, you should use a mirror close to you.

I hope there won’t be any more “Power Down Party” but if we plan one, we’ll invite everybody to come with candles and petrol.

You people aren’t understanding. Every datacenter has this- and never right freaking next to each other. No anon, it’s near impossible if you do it correctly. Even more impossible with a 3-phase power. And even moreso with a UPS and generator that those melted cables should be connecting to. Opensuse doesn’t mean much, so if it goes down it doesn’t matter. It must be nice to have a gig like that. If opensuse means more than talk, you would have a DR site to swing to when this happens. But again, apparently it doesn’t. This isn’t the linux nerd’s fault. This is the facilities manager and CTO/VP of operations at novell’s fault.
