This is a fair explanation about Linux and it's adoption in Novell. I'm an OpenSUSE big fans, and SUSE Novell take over issue (and, off course about Microsoft-Novell issue) always asked by another people if I tried to spread out or talk about OpenSUSE . I write down some good point from Stefan and Duncan. As described by Clayton, "Everyone only ever hears or sees what shows up in the media... a media that seems to delight in pouncing on any tidbit and blowing it all out of proportion." I absolutely agree with his reply. I never thinking before that SUSE Novell Takeover make such big changes to Linux adoption in Novell, not only from commercial side of its takeover.
