  Reaction? Heck the list has been like a piece of comfortably numb (is there
anybody out there? Is there anyone at home?) for a year. The reaction I am sure
will be nada (he he)..

 SUSE is great. I like it better than RedHat. Haven't used Slackware in *many*

 Shame? More like sham. I have never been involved in such a project as closely
as the Open Linux debacle and seen such "turn your back on your bread and butter"
attitude. But, was destined to have happened. I mean business is business. I will
vote with my wallet - and with the customers that I recommend Linux to.

 Guess I was duped from the start of the IPO by the RedHat rise to fruition.. 
Shame on me..
