Hi!
just wanted to point out an interesting articel on ragingbull, I'm sure there will be a outragous flame return by all the linux fanatics on these lists, but I find it kind of interesting ... remember, it does keep from touching technical issues but rather points out some commercial things ... would be interested how SuSE thinks of this ...

Honestly? Yawn. There are various ways Linux makes money. It is used to sell hardware. It is used to sell more software. It is used to sell services. I find all this stuff interesting just two weeks after Merrill Lynch put out a report titled "Open Source: Disruptive and for real". Not one of the companies mentioned are considered Linux companies yet they all will benefit or be hurt by Linux if the report is right. Nick
