Don't trust any of them. Their staff, management, tech guys, tech gurus,
sales staff are all cretins focused on moneterizing everything their way
under their own control and ideals. Open source doesn't allow them that
and they will loose and ruin everything they touch taking with them a whole
bunch of suckers like SuSE staff with glitter and gold that has no value
outside of their own circles. There was a time I had many SuSE distros.
Now everything is wiped clean and replaced with Linux distros that
have value closer to Open Source than to Micoshaft Corporation
funded Novel and their crappy infection which they still choose to
call in a dishonest way as SuSE.
