Novell Makes Linux Driver Project a Reality

apokryphos writes "Novell have relaunched the Linux Driver Project by dedicating well-known kernel developer Greg KH to work on the project full-time. Greg KH writes: 'My employer, Novell, has modified my position to now allow me to work full time on this project. Namely getting more new Linux kernel drivers written, for free, for any company that so desires. And to help manage all of the developers and project managers who want to help out...They really care about helping make Linux support as many devices as possible, with fully open-source drivers.'"

I'm not complaining about /.'s ad policy, but...

why do we find ads like this one in linux.slashdot.org (it happened right now)? http://spe.atdmt.com/ds/NMMRTUMISITP/mrs06256_news_336x280.jpg?spd=104 Ironic, no?

There's no reason except laziness to not host the ads locally

I can't quote any TOS here, but IIRC many ad providers (in this case DoubleClick/Google) require their users to include a .js from their servers (probably for easier upgradeability from their side).

Did SuSE fix installation, yet? The last time I tried it (10.0,10.2) it was still a pain in the neck. It was querrying the comapany server everytime I tried to change packages.
