which influences it would be have we can only speculate this time. Sure is 
SUSE will be a stand alone company after the deal and Attachmate knows that 
openSUSE exists

from the supporting side its better for us, SUSE is a traditional FLOSS 
company and they know that the openSUSE project is important for the company.
Novell self had this to learn because, they didnt know how floss working as 
they bought SUSE.
But support means two things, I can support u always with warm words and stay 
behind u. But shirts, geekos, DVD and other stuff have to paid for.
That money have to come in the future from the standalone company SUSE and for 
this they have to earn it.
In smaller things it can be better for us on bigger things like openSUSE 
Conference it can be not so good.
For this we can only speculate, but one thing is sure openSUSE stay alive.
