Kier, Rob,
I know you might not care for my suggestion, but if you have time to spare,
navigate through the Web site (many cross references therein) and find out
what the white-collar press is trying to hide. They want people to believe
what they they wrongly perceive as good for the economy/advertisers.
SUSE is getting worse. It become .NET-dependent and the changes are pushed
upsread. Microsoft is playing Novell like a marionette, just as it toys with
Xen and Scalix at the moment. It tries to use companies to destroy others. It
uses proxies to escape antitrust jeopardy and scrutiny.
It's sad, but it's all true.
