Nov. 09, 2005 Suse Linux founder Hubert Mantel announced his resignation from Novell Tuesday in a mass e-mailing. Mantel said in a brief letter, sent to recipients in a Suse mailing list, that he could no longer work for the company, which acquired Suse in January 2004. "Too late for me. I just decided to leave Suse/Novell," Mantel wrote. "This is no longer the company I founded 13 years ago." A Novell spokeswoman confirmed Mantels resignation but gave no further details. We can confirm that Hubert Mantel has tendered his resignation to Novell. However, this departure does not impact Novell's Linux strategy or our ability to execute on that strategy, she said in an e-mailed statement. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
