Sometime in November Chris assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| There was just a discussing about RedHat and Fedora.  What's everyone's
| opinion about Novell acquiring SUSE?

wow, last i read this wasn't going to happen. now that seems to have
changed:

since novell owns ximian and they are looking at desktop linux, i think
this could be good if that's where you want to see linux going-which i do
:). since i don't use suse, i'm probably not very sensitive to the suse way
and the impact novell might have on it. i just don't think of novell as
being a very disruptive company though, so i wouldn't expect them to hinder
suse too much. i think a lot of good could come of this.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
