Have you already seen this commercial ?

Now go to Ted’s blog and speak out loud your opinion on it in his comment space!
Personally i do not enjoy it, even if the premises were … promising
To say, the commercial I’ve linked waaaaaaaaaay back in an october 2005 post was much more effective and better [...]

Thanks but NO, thanks.
Read why in the final rows of Liquidat’s post of today on the subject. He has exactly expressed my suspicions.
I do not believe in their moves, and I do hope that people involved in the development of those apps will keep an eye on them …
How the old say goes ?

Recently a lot of noise has come from some articles on a famous e-zine.
Strong comments have come from our pals at Planet SuSE and on SuSE / openSUSE mailing list.
Still, like Liquidat’s have staten, one can feel a growing and bugging feeling coming on …. the “hi-market” strategy taking decisions on us users, specifically [...]

Novell new projects

Our friends at Novell seem to strongly believe in their SUSE Linux involvement. So they’ve released two major projects:

Power @SUSE: which is the starting point for anyone willing to remove his OS-X or try SuSE on a PPC architecture.
Better Desktop: a new project on User Interface, founded on the principles of FreeDesktops.org. In this page [...]

For the people that are just approaching to the SUSE world it can be useful THIS MOVIE (you will need the Flash plugin) where our pals at Madpenguin show us the fundamental points.
Enjoy !
