Another new reason for Novell's Red Hat envy.

In each test bed, Fedora integrated with the printer with ease. However, on the HP Compaq device, Novell took more hands-on configuration to integrate with the printer. On balance, that left Fedora the winner of Round 2 - - but just barely - - over SLED 10.

By the way, we wrongly identified a Novell Boycotter, so we apologise.

I just wanted to have a closer look on Kubuntu and compare it to openSUSE and suddenly I became a Novell boycotter on the Boycott Novell site. Obviously this needs some clarifications.

Somehow SuSE has got a bad reputation: Upgrade hassles, old styled RPM packages and a outdated package management as well as the slow Yast configuration.

I am confused, all I get in this blog is a link to his blog, never a mention that he actually is a Novell boycotter.
