I can see how it may be preferable for someone who shouldn't work as root (non technical humans) to be able to make some "changes" such as network or printer setup. Perhaps openSuse could add a setup/configuration choice of the current security model vs assigning users sudo permission for certain configuration items.

He should use Debian. Everyone should. It's perfect.

Stable, for people who want stable. Funeral Homes, Volvo drivers, the CIA, etc.

Testing, for the adventurous types. Mountain climbers, private pilots, Libertarian Party candidates, etc.

Unstable, because Sid breaks all his toys. Mostly masochists and Emo who are desperate for their system to cut itself.

Experimental, because everyone needs a crazy uncle Ron so that they think their own lives are safe and secure in comparison.

Debian/Linux, Debian/HURD, Debian/BSD, the list seems endless as do the arguments and flame wars!

And soon, the king will return, as foretold.

Please, stop me before I have to banish myself.
