Stewart, I agree with you to a degree. I even thought about gNewSense.

Well I’d have to disagree.

Debian has a better “business” plan.

Mark Shuttleworth (through Ubuntu) seems content with benignly taking credit for the Debian folks hard work over the last 10+ years, whilst at the same time detracting luster of working on Debian directly.

If you are a SuSE developer who is going to switch, don’t switch to Ubuntu or it’s derivatives. Switch to Debian.

The Ubuntu folks can copy it to their hearts content once it’s in Debian, and you’ll have the satisfaction of bringing your talents to a base operating system and *ALL* it’s derivatives (Knoppix, Adamantix, Ubuntu and co, any and all other Debian derivatives, any and all future Debian derivatives).

heh, like i didn’t see that coming

Though i was expecting them to migrate to rh/fc/cent naturally…

Shuttleworth has a good business plan. I am sure the Novell developer community will migrate. They are more than likely to be frustrated at the moment with diminishing loyalty.
