    Well United Linux has gotten quite a bit of hype, a friend of mine has been keeping track of some of their add campaigns at his homepage (he is a big fan of the idea, and like me detests Red Hat). I have a question though, if SuSE is involved (I think they are), will United Linux have the SuSE installer Yast? If so I think it will blow Red Hat out of the water, considering how much the Red Hat installer sucks (especially for inexperienced users).

    Why will SuSE offer their own distro? Simple, spread your eggs to multiple baskets, and you're more likely to sell a few. I am personally a SuSE loyalist (i.e. I only use their distro), and doubt I would use United Linux even though they have a hand in it.

    You can check out a list of reasons why SuSE will probably continue to make their own distro even with United Linux at my friends site. He has some links to the different distro's and their stance on such an idea.
