It seems anymore I am hearing how great suse is, how "polished" it is and sofouth.
But Microsofts deal with Novell makes me not want to do anything with Suse.
Its all principal that makes me mistrust both sues and novell.
I dont care if microsoft has a patent deal with novell, the part I care about is Novells recent attitude towards linux.
It seems by some of their stuff they are directing people to microsoft, plus they keep most of the so called "benefits" they got in thier hands to themselves.
I mean the rest of the linux world shares most of its stuff right?
Novell seems to look out for itself, its that selfishness that makes me mistrust them
yes they are a company, and yes they have business practices, but under the GPL they should hold nothing back from the rest of the community.
Now yes canonical has its own proprietary apps, but it doesnt mean they give a lawsuit if someone creates a alternate version of their stuff.
I certainly trust canonical more then novell.
My biggest worries is if Novell finally gives out and becomes the next SCO, and then goes after opensuse and the rest of us like sharks.
