O Davi (davi_carvalho@yahoo.com) disse: " A Cray (conhecida fabricante de supercomputadores) convidou a SuSE para fazer parte do projeto do 'Red Storm'. Este será, provavelmente, o supercomputado mais rápido dos EUA (será utilizado pelo departamento de energia) e nas suas 'entranhas' estará o processador Opteron 64-bits, da AMD. Segundo um executivo da SuSE, uma das razões da escolha desta distribuição é que ela já vem trabalhando com este processador da AMD por três anos. E por que não Microsoft ? Com a palavra este mesmo executivo da distribuição alemã: 'Think of Unix, think of the scalability, the security, the stability -- that's what we are, that's what Linux is.'" Ou seja: escalabilidade, segurança e estabilidade mais uma vez fizeram a diferença a favor do Linux, desta vez em grande escala :-)
E a Martina Krahmer (mak@suse.de) avisou também que a SuSE e a HP expandiram sua aliança global, dando aos consumidores um contato unificado para a aquisição, suporte e manutenção do SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 nos servidores HP Proliant e também na linha Itanium. O anúncio oficial (em inglês) está nos DETALHES desta notícia.
Para completar, a Tempo Real avisou que já tem o SuSE 8.2 Professional oficial, com os 5 CDs, 2 DVDs, 2 manuais impressos e ainda dão de brinde um boné da SuSE.

Acho bacana uma distro avançar, pois isto faz com que o Linux avance como todos. É claro que eu como todo mundo gostaria que a Suse disponibiliza-se o ISO. Mas, seja como for ela disponibiliza a distro completa para baixar, so não disponibiliza o que ela vende ou seja o YaST. É uma estratégia inteligente.
