"...we are still forcing folks to use the command line?"
There's absolutely no reason for the average user to even know the command line exists, never mind have to use it, under SuSE 10.0.
"they gotta lift their offering to at least the equal of what Microsoft or Apple offers out of the box. Consumers will pay for features!<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... SuSE needs a better and more complete feature list (in order to get away with what they are charging retail)!"
SuSE (and most other Linux distros) has far more features available out of the box than Windows and Mac OS combined. The default installation includes OpenOffice.org, media players, e-mail program, web browser, chat tools (IM and VoIP), and miriad other programs.
As for cost, I paid £40 for my copy of SuSE Linux 10.0, but could have downloaded it for nothing if I wanted to.
