The fact of the matter is, Novell, Linspire, etc., are trying to make Linux more user friendly and accessible. All of this ranting about the MS/Novell deal is just a bunch of hot air. If anything, we've discovered that Novell has MS by the balls if they ever get into a patent war. MS has to hand out over $300 mil to Novell and Novell only has to shell $40, you do the math. In any case, Novell didn't sell out, proof of that is that it continues to battle SCO, and has won lately, in order to prevent ludicrous law-suits from companies like SCO, and MS by asserting the fact that all UNIX rights still belong to Novell, and whatever Linux may use that resembled UNIX, we have nothing to be worried about because Novell backs open source. People like you do a disservice to the community by taking sides and trying to split Linux supporters. Get a life, OpenSuSE, SLED, SLES, SuSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat are all nice distros, shut up and do something constructive instead.

Many thanks for trying to tell the truth about Microsoft and Novell. Our perception of truth can be colored by bias, but truth itself is objective no matter where it is found.
