Putting Novell's SuSE Purchase In Perspective

Posted by timothy on from the step-back-for-a-moment dept.

An anonymous reader writes " The editors over at NewsForge.com have combined their efforts to put today's big news about Novell's purchase of SUSE in perspective: what the news means in business terms and to the Linux community, today and in the future. A good read that includes quotes from industry insiders, IRC inhabitants, and NewsForge.com readers." Another reader writes "This is a good analysis piece about how Linux has become Novell's lifeline, especially since NetWare's been dying...and post-Ximian."

    Dear Wachowski Bros.,

    I think Matrix Revolutions is a really, really good movie. You guys do a great job balancing the character development with the elaborate special effects. The acting is fluid and superb. I think your fans will agree that the sequels were worth making!

    Sincerely,

    George Lucas

    Liberalism puts political and economic power in the hands of the individual for the good of the individual.

    Conservatism is the resistence to change.

    Socialism puts political and economic power in the hands of government for the good of society.

    Fascism puts all economic and political power in the hands of a governmental elite and promotes the worship thereof.

    Libertarianism puts the absolute maximum freedom in the hands of the individual and minimizes government.

    The American Libertarian Party is strictly Constitutional. The Constitution is a very liberal document, which is why the Libertarian term can be applied to strict Constitutionalism and American Libertarianism is American Liberalism.

    It sounds really, really weird saying this to a Libertarian, but:

    Dude, you've completely bought into the current political dogma promologated by "The Man."

    Free your mind and, ummmmmmmm, the rest will follow.

    I've got to take exception to that logo where they've got Tux dressed like a bitch. Someone thought it was cute, no doubt. But Tux is not a bitch! Bitches may USE Tux, but Tux is not metrosexual, he is not a gay homosexual, in short, TUX IS NOT A BITCH!

    Thank you for your time.
