Novell To Open Source SUSE
jambarama writes "Newsforge reports Novell will be open sourcing SUSE professional under the name OpenSUSE. Is Novell following in the footsteps of Red Hat Inc., with its Fedora Core Linux distribution, or continuing its own open source policy as it has in the past as with YAST?" Note that it looks like the opensuse.org site is not yet up.
Does this mean SUSE Pro's going to end up like so many distros...a half baked OS with errors, for which no corporation is responsible?
I gladly paid (and would continue to pay) for SUSE regularly because I knew I would get one of the most compatible, well tested and fairly up to date distributions that wasn't enterprise grade. Where will I go for solid release if OpenSUSE goes the way of Fedora Core 4?
Umm... Suse is owned by Novell... which is an American corporation, why on earth would English not be their main language? Also English is the "language of commerce" and it is very widely spoken. On a side note, its funny how the whole world who "hates" America is more or less nothing but a bunch of cowards. Its like Europeans didn't learn anything from the past 2 world wars... you don't let your enemy keep growing out of control simply because he says he'll be good... The U.S. is preventing World War III and the rest of the world is too damn ignorant to realize that we are saving their asses again.
I don't agree with Bush on everything, I did not vote for him, but the wars he is fighting are worth every penny and every life. The europeans just kept going about their lives letting Saddam gain more and more power, same thing with N. Korea. The U.N. is useless, corrupted, and is known to not enforce anything, so the U.S. stepped in. If it wasn't for the U.S., the Europeans would wake up one day again only to find troops invading their country and taking over. Then the rest of europe would say, "Well fine, but don't take anymore countries and we'll let this whole thing go", then they'll wake up one morning to find themselves being invaded. Learn from your history, burn the fire out before it gets out of control.
