I think novell have done some great things for suse but they also seem to have broken the community somewhat, there is growing disrespect for the way novell are doing things they seem to have lost connectivity with the community and concentrated on what linux can do for them, rather than what they can do for linux, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
I think that the SUSE users were used to get a clean SUSE every 6 months. We never saw a beta, so we had no idea what was going on. Suddeenly we DO see what is going on. Not only that, we get to see the working in general.
Very mch Novell and especially openSUSE want to get the 'lost souls' who think they are left behind to join openSUSE and tell what they want. That is what openSUSE is all about.
Saying they are no longer heard anymore is perhaps due to the reason that they do not know how to get this list. Yes, SUSE and Novell need to get the comunication a bit better. Many things need improvement and everybody is working hard on that.
The fact that they launched the beta on a saturday and not on next monday is already proof of that. :-)
Yup this give you the weekend to update all the computers at your workplace without loosing productivity ;) Mathieu
