Probably 8.0 solve "something".

After more than three years ... evaluating and writing training for SuSE 
(and also
for RedHat, ... Caldera, LinuxPPC, etc) ... I move my attention to "build" a
distribution ... instead to follows "strange" implementations.

SuSE ... is the most strange ... beleive me.

If you are now "complaint" ... this is good for you ...

What do you will do ... refund the money to all the SuSE clients ... in 
the last four years?

With Linux ... everyone can develop what they prefer.

Change init levels number to another sense, re-arrange filesystem 
hierarchy ... are propose
this like a UNIX ... is simply very stupid (or not logical, in warm english)

The most "crazy" fact, is SuSE certification. Certifiing people on a 
Linux DIFFERENT
from any other UNIX flavor in history.

Where will get a job these SuSE certified people ... at SuSE?

No other companies will offer a job to them.

If you are now "complaint" with other UNIX ... I am happy.

All the other Linux companies ... was "complaint" or "standard" from the 
first version:
RedHat, Caldera ... and other that follows these schema.

So ... like I stat before ... SuSE start to forget they strange 
behaviour and understand what UNIX  (read Linux)
is.

Great!

Would SuSE refund the money because sell something that 'only' SuSE call 
Linux ?

Thanks,
