One finance company started out with just a linux smtp gateway for their windoze shop, but have since added linux dns servers, web proxy, firewall, vpn server, and have migrated their websites from microsoft/iis to linux/apache/j2ee. They were originally on red hat but have moved to suse.
Fine. I will take your word for it and assume you are not BS'ing. I guess were you live Novell do a better job selling. You aren't based out of Provo, Utah are you? ;-)
There is no need for Novell to sell to have others use its software. We decided for SuSE long ago because we searched for the best solution. And decided that SuSE offers it. Without ever speaking to anyone at SuSE before. Of course it doesn't hurt to sell, but we prefer to buy, than to get sold something. This Novell-MS deal so far we do not buy, despite the efforts to sell it to us. SuSE Linux did convince us, however this deal does not. (...this MS deal is influencing our decisions for any future installation. We started test installations of other distros because of it.... ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
