Comments on: openSUSE 11.2 and its retail box http://news.opensuse.org/2009/12/10/opensuse-11-2-and-its-retail-box/ The latest news from the openSUSE project Fri, 24 May 2013 17:15:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: WH Fellows http://news.opensuse.org/2009/12/10/opensuse-11-2-and-its-retail-box/comment-page-1/#comment-8336 WH Fellows Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:27:25 +0000 http://news.opensuse.org/?p=2612#comment-8336 I just hope that 11.2 in box will be available in NA. I am long overdue at 10.2, so many things are way behind. A suse user since 1999 and Unixware since 1992 I hope that Suse lives on and remains reasonably priced. hurry please

How about selling just the 90 days support and maybe a 1 yr support option, for those who would like the support but are green, uninterested in boxes or more likely too impatient to wait for a box ;)

Perhaps a mp3 etc. support package for those who would like to be free and pure OpenSuse, but will bend in favor of functionality that can truly be trusted as SAFE/AUDITED. As it is, I think it is safe to say that it is commonly known known that too many folks trash their install or compromise security using the repositories to get DVD, MP3 etc running as it stands. So, maybe some form of reasonably priced options for extended and security audited/supported audio, video etc. stuff…?

Personally, my client base wants SOHO ability. I have been working on this since 1999 with varied success, but have wearied from instabilities and lacks. When someone makes it possible to replace/move/keep their Quickbooks, CAD and Dreamweaver and a few other business type programs without the headaches of Virtual, Wine and all that is not across the board not quite ready for prime-time, that would be a good day indeed!

Thanks!
