From today's DistroWatch:
"It seems the whole Red Hat/Fedora development model thing is catching
on outside of Research Triangle Park, huh? The word seems to be that
SUSE is on the horizon... Tell me though.. who didn't see this coming?
Seriously. The signs have been there since the last SUSE release, and
you can even argue that they've been there since Novell started its
Linux purchasing binge. In any event, the story is true. It was verified
by the Linux Marketing Director for Novell and will be announced this
week at the LinuxWorld expo in San Francisco. They will also be handing
out thousands of beta copies of SUSE Linux 10.0 (or should I say
OpenSUSE 10.0). Is this a wise move for SUSE? Time will tell, but the
same business model seems to be working out fine for Red Hat, who did
the same thing not too long ago and produced the widely used Fedora
distribution. According to sources inside Novell, they will be launching
a site at OpenSUSE.org. WHOIS information for the domain verifies the
site is registered to Bruce Wayne (yes, Bruce Wayne) at Novell, Inc. in
Provo, Utah. In other news, IOwnOpenSUSEAndYouOweMeMoney.org is
registered to Darl McBride of Lindon, Utah."
