I thought its curious that MS partnered with Novell.... I posted a note to one of the OpenSuse mailing lists- the way I was treated made me wipe the desktop and install FC. :-) John Peter Roopnarine wrote: <blockquote cite="mid200611161052.30484.proopnarine@calacademy.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Thursday 16 November 2006 10:15, tom poe wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Seems to me, that's just plain nonsense, for both Red Hat and Novell.

Their approaches to Microsoft's motions have been very different. It is not clear at all that any Novell-type agreement is necessary, and unless Red Hat's legal counsel and developers determine that an agreement is necessary, why would they want to go down this road? I have been a full-time Linux-only user for 9 years now, and while technological superiority is the reason for a very large part of my loyalty, politics has been also. I ditched my copy of OpenSuse last week. Peter </pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- ÐÏà¡±á</pre> </body> </html>
