What’s growing at SUSEroot

I’m left feeling nonplussed. I guess I want to see some passion, you know? Why are you running SUSE?
Maybe Fedora’s fans are more forceful … maybe not. You sure can’t beat the Ubuntu people when it comes to pimping their OS.

### ●●● More ‘Funny Business’

 

Let’s begin with Bruce Perens, who points out that Dan Lyons is at it again.

↺ larger scheme

Adding insult to injury, another defence mechanism in Windows Vista gets shattered to pieces with a proof-of-concept hack.
