    "Novel: SUSE is presented as completely separate from Novel, they're not even co-branded (yet?)."

    the SuSE standard edition CD set was a co-branded distro, including both Novell and SuSE software.
    If you install off of the UnitedLinux CD, its UnitedLinux. If you install off of the SuSE 1 CD, its Suse.

    UnitedLinux is dead, thanks to Darl.
    Maybe it will be revived after SCO (CalderaSCO) is dead.

    Having left the show with such a distro, I can fully state (evidence in hand) that his point is wrong.
