Regrettably the company I work for is clinging on to SuSE. I'm not going to go into the whole speech here, but suffice it to say that it's pissing those of us that actually do the work on these boxes right the fuck off. Anyway. This should be of interest to most here.
SuSE Linux founder Hubert Mantel has resigned from Novell stating "Too late for me. I just decided to leave Suse/Novell. This is no longer the company I founded 13 years ago." Novell confirmed his resignation but had little else to say on the topic. From the article: "Mantel's departure also comes less than a week after Novell announced a major restructuring that would result in 600 layoffs. It's unclear if Mantel's resignation is related to the restructuring."

"Its a tough week for novell when they loose both a founder and 600 employees.... makes you wonder just who is using their solutions anymore? "
and ...
"When we took away his stapler. That just pissed him off."
