Thanks for the URL Pavel. Sorry if I got a bit harsh. I do appreciate
the contributions SuSe and RedHat folks make kernel dev., and the fact
that it takes money. I also worry about what the financial pressures
might bring, but have admired the fact that you all (almost:) never push
your own product on the list. I guess a red flag went up.
As Victor points out, finding the right patch is not easy. I assumed
that there was one somewhere on suse, but the Buy the CD statement let
to question that assumption. Of course I never misword anything:)
