Actually, I had an email exchange a few months ago with their CEO who responded himself to a request for support. He told me that they had made RH and Mandrake RPM's but that they couldn't possibly support all distributions because of all the differences. When I informed him of how much SuSE puts toward KDE development ..his only response was that an individual would make on soon and put it in contrib which is where "non" employee packages reside. They want to make nice KDE software if your system is running RH or a knock off. *shrug*
The argument was that Red Hat was the market leader, therefore the best to support. However, they may have a hard time explaining why they don't support the new marketplace leader, SuSE. There may be resistance at first, but eventually they will have to support SuSE , if it remains the number one distribution in the market. If SuSE can become and remain the leader without support from man of the developers, think about how well they will do with the full support of all the developers. In the future it may be worthwhile to remind them SuSE is the number one distribution in USA. joe
