You would almost think they would chosen ALT or started their own distro for a project of this size. An why hire IBM? The Russian linux community is well regarded, and probably at least as well versed as IBM.
After that big inventment IBM made in SuSE/Novell, its odd they didn't push SLED.
That's because Novell marketing sucks.
(That comes from a friend who attended brainshare and berated the marketing group directly.)
Novell's marketing has ALWAYS been bad, and until they get some people like some of us here, who know how to "fight in the trenches," they'll still end up not being where they could be and should be! IBM had that problem in the days of OS/2, along with having too many lawyers on retainer who found more ways not to do something than to do something.......WOULDN'T work with OEMS like video chip makers. Had I been "Cookie Man" at the time, I'd fired 3/4 of the "suits" and EVERYONE in marketing! Fred -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
