As an example of SuSe being cluefull on security, the 9 install goes out and updates everything before it ever boots off the hard drive the first time. Very cool. But don't worry about Novell. As an ancient Red Head (I remember when Netware was nothing but a print server meant to share big-bucks daisywheels that you could hear clanging down the hall) they have always done support right, and that is what Linux has always needed, enterprise level support. And as for security, Novell has always been on top of that. Whenever we have security as a primary issue, we always install Netware, otherwise BSD or SuSe. Only use Windows when we have to, and that is less and less each day. I patch my Netware servers a couple of times a year.
