Open source talk to highlight tech show

| Faigen is Novell's vice president and general manager for Linux,

| type of computer program where the code is open for all to see,
| rewrite and improve upon. Open source programs, such as the
| Web browser Firefox, are generally free to download, although
| companies such as Novell charge a fee to provide support for
| open source systems.

More Linux in the mainstream. Let's just hope this don't deliver Microsoft IP

repeatedly being accused of.

Take everything posted by the individuals above with grain of salt. Microsoft
has already been caught paying forum members to spread lies about rivals,
