The "OT" or off topic list is more suited for this and other discussions about what Novell is doing for the enterprise version of the distribution, which is different than the opensuse version most of us are downloading or buying and using. I have used both, but choose to stay with open, I like the newer packages, and constant updating. I understand everyone has opinions about what occurs with novell and suse linux, but novell is going to do what is best for novell regardless of what a small portion of its mailing list subscribers are saying. Switching to another distribution that chances are greater that it was downloaded for free to begin with, is not going to hurt novell at all. What it IS going to help is linux in general, because you are not going to another OS altogether. Thats just my 2 cents, and I feel I have done what I did not have intentions to do, open another can of worms, send it to the OT list please. Thanks, have a great weekend all.

for those of you who are also going to leave........ take notice, most of us are here for help with suse. not to read everyday about how bad you think the microsoft deal was, or what your personal opinions are about it. these needless emails are continuing to fill our inboxes. please
Then please tell me where else I can complain about it? This is as official a SuSE user community as can be found.
Why shouldn't I be concerned about the Novell/Microsoft deal? I own a support company that's standardized on SuSE, and now I have to think very hard about switching, and to what distro (Ubuntu is not on my list, by the way).
