I too have been a CNE since v3 and a current MCNE in Messaging. One thing has been very clear since I first heard the name Novell - They have no effective marketing. They never have and if they don't get their act together, SUSE Linux will die on the vine as Netware is doing.
Anybody remember (as I do with amusement) at the marketing "plan" called DENIM announced at Brainshare 2000?
Remember when you first got your CNE and you were instantly added to Novell's Marketing database and received advertisements about how cost effective and wonderful Novell products were. No kidding! They were marketing to the people that already believed in Novell enough to bother getting their certifications. Oh yeah, that's money well spent.
