Story here (http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=190301147&cid=RSSfeed_IWK_All).
This sounds like good news for SUSE, and Linux in general I hope (assuming that if it runs SUSE, it'll run the other major desktop distros). Now all we need is for the big PC vendors to certify their hardware for Ubuntu, and the world will be that much nicer.
I read a comment a while back on Slashdot, where it was suggested that distros recommend hardware known to work with them. It the long term this would motivate hardware makers to support Linux. Does anyone have an idea why this isn't happening? (or is it and I am blind?)
