well first:
I would say that since SUSE is the worlds #2 enterrpise distro, the
large customers are out there. It's just a numbers game. If your
company chooses not to find where they live and pursue them, then it
is either poor judgement or poor marketing analysis or teh result of a
strategic decision. Why ask us?
Second:
Why ask a list serve? Contact Novell about becoming a partner. If your
company sells enterprise scale linux appliances and services to the
financial market, I can gaurantee that Novell will want to partner
with you.
