[kde-linux] [Fwd: Kde, Suse, RPM with .gz Updates!!]

[rkb]

NeroZero,
I just thought I would respond in support of your latest comments.

I totally agree with your attitude, some 4 months ago I decided to give 
MS Products the flick and move to Linux, I have installed and 
uninstalled close to the lot of the linux systems.
Currently I am using SuSE 10 and am struggling with the package 
installation, I have the packages in there, but I am sure it is messy.

It seems to me that most of the Linux systems are prepared for 
experienced Linux users and there is little support or encouragement for 
migrators

I read a lot about Linux "knocking" off Windows, but until there is 
narrow focus on the issues that are important MS is safe, pity hey.
