I don't find this whole topic to be something worth getting worked up over. No decision-maker at Novell cares what I think. Nor do I care to try to prevail upon them. I buy one copy of each release of SuSE Linux so they don't care whether I walk away. Frankly, they'll have to degrade their distribution to drive me away. So far, no other distribution comes close to SuSE's quality and range of package and hardware support. Until there's a better choice, I'm staying with SuSE. Also, now that I have a couple of Macs, I care much less about media support on my Linux boxes. And I don't play games, so that's a moot point for me. > > In the end, the contracts and licenses are what matter, not what > > one person says or another person believes was the reason for > > entering into them. > > The parties entering into contracts and licenses remain in control of > how they want to amend or enforce them in the future.

You'll never know it. > Saill Randall Schulz --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
