Do anybody know where I can find an iso image of SuSE 7.3?

Hommi

Sorry, no go. SuSE is a waste of money, Mandrake is almost as good anyways.

Waste of money??????

man, last week you were going on for no particular reason about how suse 7.3 will save the world, and now it's just a waste of money??!!!

but no you can't get suse iso's. you can download suse on ftp, but not in iso form

It was good for a while, but the novelty wears off, especially since distro's like FreeBSD are kickass.

How can something be good, then not good all of a sudden ? Do you follow the team that is winning or stick by your team when they lose as well ? You don't make sense at times Therion12, you seem to change your mind on a daily basis...

Just curious... that's all.

novelty? That's all any of this is to you isn't it? you have no real use for linux OR bsd whatsoever, and you're just (trying to) using them for the sake of it, and have no real appreciation of what they are. i suggest you just go back to windows and stop annoying the people on this forum with your extremely ill formed and uneducated opinions. or alternatively... if linux is just a novelty, go find a bsd forum that will helkp you slowly learn how to create symlinks and such like, and leave this site to people who a) know what they're talking about or b) appreciate that they need help.

bye!

But the problem being if your are using FreeBSD then you are not a linux user.
BSD is not linux

Suse don't do .iso's. You have to download the multigigabyte folder or else look on binary newsgroups for (no doubt illegal) binary copies of CDs

is so pointless. If you think for a few seconds what Linux essentially is (a kernel) then all the arguing about boxed sets, availability of ISOs with commercial software (such as SuSE 7.3), and the relative ease/difficulty of interface seems a little silly.

My distro can not beat up your distro.

thanks.

"My distro can not beat up your distro. "

wow what a quote. damn right too... but then the only real use for the 'wars' is as far as newbies are concerned, where ease of installation is a HUGE issue. other than that, you're totally right.

What i mean is...this is to Acid_kewpie too, that SuSE seems great and everything with the painless installation and easy setup. But once you reach a certain point in time it hits you ..."Why am i letting this thing do all the work for me?". And then you just feel like going back to the basics... like freebsd.

sorry but.. hahahaha you didn't even know what a symlink was until i told you 2 weeks ago! and it's very easy to stop distributions doing things autoamtically, that is IF you know what's doing it...

so i presume now you write your config files all by hand then? didn't use XF86setup or such to configure X? cool. respect

Actually, yes i do and i find glory in editing by hand.

*edit* i don't write up the whole thing, but i work from the defaults.

The famous quote of this string. Let's get one thing straight. this is a LINUX forum. Note the LINUX part. This is not a BSD form. Note the BSD part. I never new BSD was named LINUX. Respect the Linux people. If it was not for linux, these systems would be slower than heck in a handbag, we would have no alternative to the dreaded windows and we are complaining that our lives are to simple?!? Let's help the community by getting off our BSD butt and learning to program. Then start programing and help the linux movement. Linux was not made by people sitting. Now think of how it is to be a programmer. so you will feel the stress.

Well i have used every distro (just about) and i find the BSDs to be VERY similier to linux except for the kernel and bootloader so i dont get why we can't include freebsd in our discussion here. If you dont play GAMES then FreeBSD is a CONSIDERABLE distro to try out.

I don't hate linux in any way. Actually i like it alot too, i guess what i'm trying to say is that FreeBSD is just as good if not better than linux for running applications and work.
