Any way these are some thoughts on why SuSE is going the route of Red Hat.
I've made similar points to the article before: that having a good home-user product is strategically important to get into the enterprise. And that is the reason why Mark Shuttleworth has invested in shipping cds all over the place (I think there must be more doo-doo-brown Ubuntu cds than there are computers on this planet). However I agree with the decision by Novell concerning binary-only kernel-modules - and before long Ubuntu will probably (hopefully) be forced to make the same decision. I think you're way too fast with claims of SUSE going the Red Hat route. Most of us agree that 10.1 has been horrific all in all. But this is only _one_ release. Wait and see if 10.2 won't be the greatest distro - or should we say the greatest OS - ever.. It has all the possibility in the world to become so. If 10.2 is screwed up too _then_ we have a problem. And look at the 10.1 problems - apart from the kernel module decision - all the problems had one reason: (testing for) SLED. Fortunately SLED has a two year release cycle and thus won't screw up our distro again - at least for a while. Give (open)SUSE the benefit of the doubt - at least until 10.2 - and I'm sure you'll see your conclusions are wrong.
