Heavy competition for Redhat coming. With Novell Suse has better chances to break into the worldwide enterprise market.

Um, did they by any chance hire Ray Noorda back as a stratetic consultant too? ;)

Novell has performed quite a few rollercoaster riedes around unix and Linux technology in the past. Let's hope they have the commitment and resources to really pull it through this time. I'd hate to see Suse end up in SCOs claws like Caldera did after Novell dropped them.
