Comments like this are the reason I and so many Americans loved Ronald Reagan:
“Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.”
He was brutally honest about the problems of his profession.
Last week I installed the new SUSE Linux 10.1. In just a few words, brilliant synergy. This is by far one of the best releases of Linux in recent history and the best I’ve seen. I’ve been using Linux now since 1997 (RedHat 6.x), I think. But I haven’t used it consistently on the desktop until just a few years ago (2002).
SUSE 10.1 has a few glitches (which are already being rectified), but for the most part, this is the slickest Linux Desktop I’ve ever used. The integration with NetworkManager is fabulous (wireless actually works — especially switching networks). Gnome is rock solid and all the additional utilities are amazing. Banshee is coming along nicely as well as F-Spot, and Beagle (a few of the cool new apps I enjoy).
Early morning here in Hawaii and I’m just readying through my usual blogs. Quote of the day provided quite a profound phrase from Andrew Carnegie:
“One of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.”
Although I would love to expound more on this, I will leave it as an exercise for the reader.
