First off the guy is talking out his arse. Unless somebody has tried every 
type and configuration of Computer or Laptop how the hell can anyone claim 
such and such Linux orientated distribution has better support than MS.

I've used SuSE for a number of years now however just recently I've really 
started to get the hump with it, simple stuff like installing gnomemeeting 
YAST: "lib.tuff-luck-sucker.so is not available installation cannot 
continue". SuSE 10.1 is a complete disaster (and they have the cheek to sell 
it!) I wont have it in the house.

This sort of crap should not be happening anymore especially if statements 
like "Linux is a real alternative" are being made, I often wonder if we are 
not reading these sorts of statements wrong? maybe in actual fact of whats 
being said is nothing to do, persay, with the product (software) but more to 
do with the company. Now there somebody might have a point. I stated last 
month Novell is really eating up the market buying companies and solutions 
left right and centre.

So if someone says "Novell is a viable alternative to MS" I might be tempted 
to agree.
