CHAPTER 16
Collaborating
with Others
So far we have talked a lot about Linux being networkaware.
Perhaps the main benefit of computer networking is
to advance the ability of humans to network. When
humans work together, amazing things get done. openSUSE
includes a multitude of tools to help you work with other
people, whether your collaborators are on the other side of
your office or on the other side of the planet.
Several types of collaboration tools are included in
openSUSE, but you can break them down into two groups:
. Asynchronous communication??”Mailing lists, Wikis,
and Usenet news
. Real-time communication??”Internet Relay Chat,
instant messaging, and video conferencing
The advantage of asynchronous communication (that is,
communication in which people involved appear at different
times to participate) is that it shrinks the physical distance
between participants.
