Right. An equivalent full install of Microsoft Windows should include
locating, purchasing, and installing closed-source packages to provide
functionality similar to what you get with Linux out of the box.

Agreed. I just found out today how to mount an ISO with the loopback
option.

E.g.
mount -o loop,ro /somepath/someimage.iso /media/dvdrom

To do that in Windows you'd need to download Alcohol or Daemon tools...
(and get licenses)

Yaaaay! I got it working ^^

Check out my Usenet headers :-)

NNTP-Posting-Host: 213.114.108.251 (probably changed by now)

John Paul Stewart was right - I needed the developer versions for the
SSL libraries. This one is working on the latest SuSE 10.2. I will try
doing the same on some other SuSE 10.0 machines of mine at home later.
