I'm worried about the latest announcements from the big guys HP and (not yet public) IBM that they will support RedHat Linux.
This means that Linux = RedHat for the most people, and where will that put SuSE? Alone in the dark?
I'm not worried. I chose to go with Linux , "to get away from the big guys". Once those giants get their hands on Redhat, it will become " a non-configurable-totally controlled" system, designed for their benefit. It will be OK, but not the free-wheeling" OS we all love. You will have to stick with Suse, Slakware, or Debian, to get the "complete-user-control" that we all want. By the way, I found it very interesting, that the day after IBM's announcement, their stock prices dropped sharply. Coincidence? Did some Microsoft allies send a message? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
