  1. Re:New Era? on OpenSUSE 11.0 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    openSuSE does equal Novell.

    Novell SuSE is the commercial OS that Novell sells while openSuSE is the community edition. Both brought to you by...you guessed it, Novell.
    http://www.opensuse.org/

    openSuSE is the test bed for new packages and configuration. Once vetted, those changes are moved upstream into Novell SuSE proper.

    This is exactly the same way Fedora and RedHat work.

  2. Re:Yay, no Gnome top-menu on OpenSUSE 11.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I see your point about KDE on SuSE. Most major distros give you the option of installing Gnome or KDE or both.

    Canonical provides Ubuntu (Gnome) and Kubuntu (KDE) versions of their distro. With the option to install the other desktop environment via apt-get.

    SuSE isn't doing anything that the other major distros aren't except partnering with an anchor.

  3. New Era? on OpenSUSE 11.0 Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The only way SUSE will start a new era is if they dump Microsoft as a partner.
