Maybe the pro users and server guys will find this alliance useful. As a
home-business user (longtime Mac, building a nice AMD/Linux box),
though, I have now crossed Novell SUSE off the list of systems I wanted
to explore in depth. Big mistake.

ahhh... hougi. i must admin, i read this little bit of press garbage
and i thought of you and your little band of anti-microsoft lamers!!!!

i guess now we shall see how true your personal commitent to SUSE
really is once you start seeing little windows logo's munched in with
your KDE and gekko's.

incidentally, there is a great little article on Novell called "From
Godzilla to Gekko in 30 seconds!" Google it. It's an interesting read.


SUCKKER!!!!!

I think you may want to read more about the actual agreement before you
jump on or off the ship.

Regardless of any "alliances" SuSE is a great Linux distribtuion and
has great staff devoted to development, support and Linux- my hopes are
Novell augments that with their large support network and commitment to
their products.

I am uncertain where OpenSuSE resides in this alliance- that is where
your home product comes from... so my search would start there for the
answer to this conundrum.

However, if things appear to fall to far from the tree, I am certain a
more "open" approach will be developed along the same lines as
Fedora....

Don't worry- be happy....
