The discussion seemed to be ended but the maintance release (!) of a LTS'ed Linux (http://www.ubuntu.com/news/lts-6.06.2) reminds me of this thread. I read that many responses to this release that I think the number of users must be extremly high. Most pointed out that they are not interested in cutting edge software but in stability. Don't you think a long time support release of opensuse will bring (more) people (back) to this great distribution?!
Not if Novell loses money on the deal because business no longer has any reason to pay for SLES or SLED. In fact, I think opensuse itself is a bad idea, because the quality has declined since the days when they were selling Suse Desktop and Suse Professional for a small amount of money which helped pay for everything. Remember, Johann, if they're not making a profit on Suse, then they'll probably just shut it down (it would be hard to sell of a division that's losing money). And then there will be NO Suse -- and YaST would become unavailable, because the source would still be Novell property. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
