I am attaching a Libranet newsletter I just received. It seems to be consistent with the previously reported "rumour" of SuSE (USA) in financial straits.
NEXT LIBRANET VERSION STILL ON THE WAY Owing to a sharp downturn in CD sales we are now forced to concentrate on other projects to generate cash flow. We have by no means dropped Libranet, it's just that we have scaled down the number of people/hours available to it. So, we'll have a new release as soon as it's ready and we are doing our best to make it an even better system than before. Thanks for being patient. --------------------------------- LINUX DESKTOP IN A SLUMP? We hear that the Linux world is in the doldrums, or maybe in a holding pattern. We notice less of those that are new to Linux purchasing Libranet. The bulk of the purchases seem to come from existing Linux users switching to Libranet. The release of the 2.4 kernel, KDE 2 and XFree86 4 was expected to help bring about a substantial exodus from Microsoft, but this has yet to happen. We think the number of GNU/Linux users will continue to increase, although slowly. We hope that the world will realize that there is a better alternative to Microsoft. -- Leon A.
