Summary: BoycottNovell has moved to another planet (domain) on the same 'cloud'

WE have not published original posts for almost 2 days now*. This is because we migrated the site and also updated the Wiki. At the point of departure (yesterday), BoycottNovell.com was ranked 1888th for Web traffic, according to Netcraft which is biased in favour of system administrators. All the old links will continue to work (redirected), but we start afresh with a new domain name and BoycottNovell as just a subset of it. We don't expect Novell to survive 2010 without being acquired or sold in pieces, so it is wiser to move on and officially broaden the scope/focus.



Normal posting pace will probably resume tomorrow. Please report issues so that they can be fixed as soon as possible. ____ * Even though our most popular posts are daily links, which are thus treated as a higher priority.

"Instead of worrying about what somebody else is going to do, which is not under your control, the important thing is, what are you going to decide about what is under your control?"

--Richard Stallman
