Oh well, the rumours were true.  SuSE Linux that we have come to know and
love is or will be owned by Novell.  This certainly makes me jittery, and
unhappy. :(

Perhaps it is time to evalulate "Linux From Scratch". :)

Looks like SuSE Linux 9.0 will be a "Classic" as being the last version
issued under SuSE's own colours.  Future versions will be from a
Novell-owned company.

Could the name be changed from SuSE Linux to Novell Linux?
