[Mono-list] New Suse?

[Francisco T. Martinez]

I think that the recent talk in the press about a new version of SuSe is 
concerning Nat Friedman's comments about SuSe Desktop Linux.  I am 
almost sure that particular version of SuSe is not  available through 
conventional distribution channels yet.

As far as SuSe 9.1 and Mono 1.0.1,  I personally think  is very stable 
and remarkably easy to install when you use Red-carpet.  You are right 
about needing ONE and only ONE tar file -- mod_mono.  However, it is a 
marked improvement over versions of Mono prior to 1.0 in terms of 
installation and interaction with SuSe 9.0 or 9.1.

I will be waiting outside of Fry's Electronics doors at 5:00 AM the day 
that SuSE DLN is available for purchase. :)
