The openSUSE Box (which is a commercially packaged version of openSUSE + extensions such as extra codes and some closed applications) also offers a biarch installation image, which will automatically pick the most suitable architecture.

Which... doesn't change the fact that a lot of people's first intro to openSUSE may be via a disc shipped in a magazine. So... really you just wanted to make sure to get a mention in for the boxed version?

If that's your perception, that's disappointing to me, but it's your call to point out. If you or the other LWN editors or readers take it as purely promotional activity, by all means, go ahead and delete the comment.
The purpose of my comment was, to amend your the part about different architectures available as installation options. In that light, my comment seemed relevant.

As a neutral reader, in the sense that I do not use OpenSUSE, I read you post as appropriate and clearly on topic.
OTHO I can understand Joe's remark. With that said I read it as disagreement over the relevance to be included in the article due to the general overview of the article.
OK at least that is as I see the whole affair.
Just my 0.02 .
