If SuSE is sending special codes to make their distro work 
with micoshaft stuff, then they should divulge that information
to open sourcers so that other Linuxes work correctly.

If they don't, then it may be yet another reason to move everything to GPL3
including the Linux kernel.

In any case, who cares about pay to use micoshaft/novel crap?

Sun$ backed VirtualBox GPL'd stuff is running expee faster than 2GHz
machines under emulation in a dual core PC. Micoshaft/novel axis nowhere to
be seen as usual.


Its time for real novel/suse open sources to leave their evil
anti-linux plotting companies and set up an anti-novel/micoshaft company. No
venture capitalist would refuse them. Take care - use lawyers and strong
NDAs to make sure none of the micoshaft bum boys and satellite big
corp companies that support micoshaft have sneaked into these
venture capital companies become privy to whats actually going on.
