Novell To Open Source SUSE

Posted by timothy on from the depends-on-your-definition dept.

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.

  1. A soon to be shotty OS? by smvp6459 · · Score: 1, Troll

    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?
