What I begin to wonder is how many users will go off Suse for this move?
If they do where will they go?
What will happen to all the dev work that Novell pump into the community?

well .. I've done this before.
While living in Holland, I set up an ogg stream for Radio 1 from the
NOS. Like the BBC, the NOS is a total Microsoft shop.
I ran the stream for over a year, I never heard anything from the NOS.
The high point of the stream was for the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
Joseph,
Thanks for the offer and I can clearly see there is a very robust set of
positions regarding Forums usage. I know we had this conversation before
and felt at the time the Maillist suited the assemblage of current
Ubuntu UK Team members. However in the strictest sense of any community

They kept putting these texts at the bottom of the screen and they kept
spelling Linux, lynux. This leads me to believe that the BBC (news team
at least) don't report on floss because they have absolutely no

I have written to my local MP (John Hemming), via the website
http://www.writetothem.com/ , and he has written to the Director General
of the BBC.
So we know we can get some support here. He has promised to let me know
when he gets a reply and forward it to me, so I'll send you a copy of that.

Of course the obvious question is how do the other loco teams
Scibuntu is Ubuntu Linux for scientists and science students.
Scibuntu is not just another Linux distribution. It is a script that
adds scientific programs and other convinient tools to the plain

Most

We already have that facility anyway -
I'm new to this, but think a UK forum would help no end, because of the very marked differences we experience in systems and pricing here,as well as the total overload of the current forum.
