to repeat a post from the other day:

'"Linux Action Show has an interview with Novell VP for Marketing Justin
Steinman, who talks about the deal. He says some interesting things. One
thing he says is the Novell has noted that the deal for non-compensated
developers (he calls them "hobbyists")'

'Novell's Justin Steinman went so far as to say that Ubuntu lacked
"enterprise quality" support options, making it suitable for the "technical

"technical enthusiast" = hobbyist.
