That's easier for the investor to say. In three years of almost exclusive use
of SuSE/SUSE I have only consumed their bandwidth, but never had the
opportunity to pay (unless our IT department's purchase counts). My only
return to Novell was probably voluntary support in the newsgroups, mailing
lists and via Web sites.

Linux is a long-term investment. Just needs a free sample, which by all means
does *not* lock users to a vendor. Best offer/product wins, so the
competition is healthy & genuine. SLED will be strong inthe business world,
among Novell's existing partners. Ubuntu continues to thrive among home
users.

Best wishes,

Roy
