Uh, guys, suse was a _commercial_ enterprise, not a community effort. Novell bought a _commercial_ company, therefore owns that _commercial_ trademark. As do a number of other _commercial_ linux vendors, who have done a great deal of good for linux. And, while it may yet turn out to have been a bad thing, that's not really clear yet. I'm not very optimistic about the Novell-Microsoft situation, myself, but please, let's understand what's really going on here, and hope for the best. -- John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
