My manager's predecessor's precedessor's precedessor had the same thing with
SuSE and installed that goddamn piece of shit on 100+ boxes.
Sure, it all looks neat after first install. Sybase ASE goes on and starts up
real nice as do all sorts of other proprietary (and despoke) apps. Wait 6
months, try do a perfectly reasonable upgrade. Something easy like, say
syslog-ng-1.6 to syslog-ng-3.x. Carnage.
There's a certain mentality that goes with these New! Improved! Shiny! OSes
and their magic sauce special apps. They only work if you use it exactly as
the vendors thinks - which is necessarily an extremely narrow view.
/etc ain't broke, I can't understand why SuSE insists on fixing it
