Suse Linux Founder Exits Novell

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the look-for-a-new-project-soon dept.

csplinter writes write to tell us that SuSE Linux founder Hubert Mantel has resigned from Novell stating "Too late for me. I just decided to leave Suse/Novell. This is no longer the company I founded 13 years ago." Novell confirmed his resignation but had little else to say on the topic. From the article: "Mantel's departure also comes less than a week after Novell announced a major restructuring that would result in 600 layoffs. It's unclear if Mantel's resignation is related to the restructuring."

  1. Novell == SCO by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Novell == SCO for me. I treat them with the same respect from now on. Poor Novell suckers. I think Novell started killing off their own business. No money will ever stop the complaints coming from users and open source enthusiasts. The people in the world will from now on totally trash the name Novell. It will be set equal with the pigs from SCO, they will be treated the same way and their entire name will be worth nothing pretty soon. They will pay for the recent crap decisions.

    ... SuSE offerings keep getting better and better.

    but will undoubtedly get modded down like you... but I think this is something that should be modded up, not down. I'm sure many others agree. I have a deep distrust of any large corporation because the end motive is always just money. Novell will drive SuSe into the ground. So, stop being wussies and mod the parent UP! You know you want to.
