Granny Picks Linux Over Windows, OS/X, FreeBSD...

"It shocked me so much that I had to sit down right there on the floor of the lobby. Susie, such a sweet looking young gal, seemed so upset. She apologized and helped me up and then went back to working. As Jason held my arm keeping me steady, dear little Susie yelped again. This time I was thankfully holding on to the front desk and Jason had my arm."
"I looked up at Jason who was still holding my arm, and he softly said, 'Windows, mom.' Now I finally understood why this sweet young gal suffered so. I opened my purse and handed little Susie, my goodness how thin and pale she looked, a Knoppix Live Linux CD. 'Here you are honey. This will help cheer you up.'"
... I saw this at Really Linux and thought I'd share it.

SUSE 9.3 makes an impression.


I happened along this article during my morning routine. It seems Suse 9.3 has taken Linux and made it a force to be reckoned with. Watch out Windows. You now have competition. Now, I say this with the knowledge that Novell has in no way even begun to market this as a viable alternative. Until a company steps up and takes the risk of saying, "Hey! Stop giving Bill Gates all that money. We have a wonderful solution for you. It's LINUX! And it works." Oh well. At least those in the know can enjoy the wonderful work that is SUSE 9.3.
