That sounds very promising, so I submitted it to Digg. The only thing
bothering me about this article is the saturation in ®'s.

>From the first paragraphed: "The new driver process allows customers to
obtain drivers independently of Novell® kernel updates and supplies a
straightforward approach third parties can use when developing device
drivers for Novell's SUSE® Linux Enterprise products."

I remember the days when SUSE was still SuSE. Alas, no doubt Novell are
helping Linux adoption a great deal. Think propmotional videos, conferences,
XGL, some 'out of the box' virtualisation, among plenty more. They will soon
stmop on Microsoft in revenge for ISP/SPX and Netware supression.
