Dear folks, we announce now the premature death of SuSE !!!
It was such a nice thing, having you beside ! All is gone now ! Munich will be drop dead soon too, under M$ operating systems and viruses !
Well I'm a bit more towards James's position on that - I thought I was one of the world's great pessimists until I read the comments above. Let's see if anything actually has died before we bury it. On the other hand, what's been said about Novell's track record with consumer products seems true enough to me - perhaps they'll play their hand better this time. If we had had to choose anyone to buy out SuSE, I think I'd have preferred it to be Sun or IBM, but there we are. I'd be interested to know how many SuSE employees knew this was about to happen, but it wouldn't be very tasteful to ask. A bit early to hold the funeral though, surely? -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk
