FirstLinux.com: SuSE Linux Professional 7.3 Review (Oct 30, 2001, 21:11)
"We would want to test this distribution for a longer period
before recommending using this to be used in a corporate
environment; many of the fundamental components are the latest
versions. But from the limited tests carried out it functioned
perfectly well as an Intranet server running Apache, MySQL and
DB4Web. Overall this is SuSE's best ever distribution and looks
like being our favorite Linux distribution, at least for now."

LinuxDevices.com: Open source MyLinux PLW project is scuttled (Oct 30, 2001, 16:03)
"The response to MyLinux was strong in terms of vocal support,
but fell quite shorter than anticipated when it came down to
putting money in front of the mouth. My intended goal and purpose
for starting MyLinux was to give back something to the Linux
Community. In my opinion it has been a complete failure. I may have
been better off by donating the MyLinux development money to the
GNU project."

(Oct 30, 2001, 05:55)
"But alas, if XP is dumbed-down to unbearable depths, 7.2 is
still bitchy, unpredictable and high-maintenance. It's still stuck
in the realm of advanced users. Damn."
