If you believe in SUSE then one of the best ways to support it with out contributing much would be to buy stock in Novell. By purchasing stock you give Novell the power to invest more resources in the SUSE product <snip>

This would be of absolutely no use whatsoever to Novell Corporation, unless the purchase was made on a new share offer from the company. Otherwise, you are merely trading in stock already held by another shareholder, and the money goes to his pocket, not Novell's.
