openSUSE lacks a clear direction, Ubuntu does not. So Ubuntu has a very clear image - anyone can see what it is about. And it helps them.
But what's a direction worth if the put-together result is subpar.
Meanwhile I also would like to 'protest' against the idea you put forward that commercial parties are dumping SUSE. Novell is far, far, far more successful than Ubuntu at getting OEM deals,
But still not as successful as Redhat.. ;)
for example. The only big deal Ubuntu ever got was Dell (previously Novell) and they only got it because they basically gave it away for free (Novell didn't).
What did they actually give away for free? Certainly not a subscription / voucher for free phone support (which would normally come with the boxed version of opensuse)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
