Novell Trumpets Support for Open Source Development ------------------------------------------------------------
Novell moved Wednesday to underscore its support for free software development after volunteer technical support collapsed for rival Red Hat's free Linux version. Novell spokesperson Kevan Barney said the downfall of Red Hat's Fedora Legacy Project only strengthens Novell's commitment to its own partnership with open source, or free, software developers worldwide.

"Statistics back up Novell's contention. In the past month, Open Suse supplanted Ubuntu as the No. 1 choice, according to the download access-tracking DistroWatch.com Web site. Fedora? It fell to No. 3." Although the above statement is most likely true.... I don't think Distrowatch's figure are a true measure of much of anything. SuSE just release 10.2 a few weeks ago for download. Thus, there are a lot of downloads of it. Ubuntu is due for a release sometime soon but hasn't released its next version yet. Expect it to become No. 1 when it is released and some of the 10.2 downloads have lessened. Not a very scientific way of measuring popularity.
