A 5-Year Deal With Microsoft To Dump Novell/SUSE

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wake-up-call dept.

Nicholas Petreley writes, "Wake up little SUSE, wake up. No, that's not good enough. Wake up SUSE customers, wake up. Novell is jeopardizing the future of Linux for its own short-term rewards. If you want to see Linux flourish, let alone survive, after Novell's five year deal with Microsoft expires, I suggest we make an alternative five-year deal with Microsoft. In this case, our part of the deal is to spend the next five minutes, months, or years migrating away from every shred of Novell/SUSE software in our home, office, or enterprise."

    The threaded display of comments is FUBAR.

    Please let the editors know that they need to get off their lazy A5535 and fix this thing!

    Hmm, Slashdot comments mysteriously stop working in the middle of the night. I wonder if this has anything to do with this article? Maybe they should have delayed the release a few more days.
