| schestowitz | Dietrich is a crazed control freak who censors and insults real advocates; he makes Linux look bad. He refers himself as a third person and he is widely slammed (increasingly over times) in Linux sites. Swapnil is one of his victims. Swapnil would never go to the Dark Side. | May 03 08:10 |

| schestowitz | Swapnil wasted years promoting Shuttleworth ego and then he tried promoting an alterantive. Shuttleworth's cult, Canonical, branded Swapnil "troll" if he even dared to chastise something in Ubuntu 10% of the time. There is no real community there and they did the same to me. | May 03 08:21 |
| schestowitz | As for SUSE, without Microsoft, it would have been another Mandriva. Microsoft just uses it for taxation and precedence for taxation now. | May 03 08:21 |
| schestowitz | will post something about SUSE later.. | May 03 08:26 |

| schestowitz | Mageia is hardly heard of anymore. I don't think they stand a chance of making it into the top 3, let alone top 5. | May 03 08:37 |

| schestowitz | Today, in fact just hours ago, another journalist (Inquirer) sent me some links about MS SUSE - depressing news. I might find some time to write a post about it at the gym -- not been there for a fortnight almost. | May 03 08:47 |
