I've noticed the majority of upset suse users, are running open suse
9.x/10.x. These versions are comparable to Fedora. AFAIK, the deal
between $Microsoft/Novell will only effect users of suse's enterprise
products SLED/SLES. These versions are comparable to RHEL, which is a
whole different ballgame. Looks like a lot of folks are getting
prematurely upset, at the moment that is. We shall see how this plays
out ;-)
