I can just imagine what the bean counters were saying:

Well many people have noticed and they also noticed the price drop as well.
So the price savings have gone to the endusers. The total income of SUSE has decreased, although not as much as expected by Novell. They knew that there would be a drop in sales. They knew there would be a drop in income. I think it is amazing that they still make the boxes and I doubt that it is any real revenue for them. If you want a book, just wait for the SUSE Linux 10.1 Bible. After all the good things Novell has done saying that it is going to the dogs is, I think, over the top. Yes, it is a pity that the manuals are gone, now can we move on please? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
