How To Make Your Own Version Of SuSE
Stuart Cooper, scooper@Informix.Com

STEP 1. Create a new impossible three-dimensional shape; in
green for the professional edition and blue for personal
edition. Print out this figure and slap in on the front of
the SuSE product box. The blue shape should look a bit like
a spinning top and the green shape should have triangle
things in it.

STEP 2. Make new versions of the SuSE sysadmin tool Yast
and X admin tool SaX:
   
   # ln -s /sbin/yast2 /sbin/yast3
   # ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/sax2 /usr/X11R6/bin/sax3

Also have a later point release of KDE and a choice to
install up to 5 different Linux kernels during the
installation.

STEP 3. Create another four CDs for the professional pack
so that SuSE now comes on 11 CDs not a disappointing 7. You
should be able to do this by grabbing the latest stable
version of absolutely everything from rpmfind.net. After
you've done this find some more RPM archive sites and grab
everything off them as well. Then do freshmeat.

STEP 4. Create some more high quality documentation. Every
70th diagram should be captioned in German and not English.

STEP 5 (hard). Exhaustively test the installation and
software configurations. Provide installation support and a
superb web site and support database. Get another round of
funding from IBM and Intel.
