But unlike proprietary operating systems, we still have a choice. Debian, *ubuntu, Fedora, and more. We have choices, but remember, Suse Linux Enterprise Edition is not being marketed to the masses. It is being marketed to corporations, where many have a Linux box up and running, and no support. Right or wrong, it doesn't bother me, because there is still a choice.

Novell-related guys have been developing Mono for quite some time now. Sometime back, there was a very lengthy flaming thread on the Gimp mailing list highlighting someone specific to be furthering the MS cause. Around the same time, it was heard that Microsoft had acquired a good equity share in Novell. And now this ... :) Where are we heading guys? :) _______________________________________________ Scribus mailing list Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus
