omg... when I heard Novell was really interested in Linux about a year
ago, I guess they were really right!  (this was before they bought out
ximian...)  Dang, they have probably the best desktop system for
GNU/Linux, and now the largest distributor in all of Europe (all of the
world until Redhat recently).  I 'hope' this ends up being a good thing...

I was about to give away my SuSE stuffed gecko from linuxworld this
summer, maybe it will have more value being from before this take over?
anyhow, if anyone's a big SuSE fan.. you can have it. =)  I'm just glad I
use Debian!!!  With the recent Redhat news, and now this for SuSE, I don't
know if these are good or bad signs for the open source/linux economy...
kinda crazy stuff... all i can say
