I listened to the Novell press conference call this morning. They have
no intention off expending any resources on SuSE's desktop offerings.
Novell's intent is to go after the enterprise server market and that's
all they're interested in.
    

I disagree. Do you really think that Novell will just leave the city of
Munich (and countless other European customers) in the dust?  I don't think
so.
  

   Well, regardless, that's what they said. SuSE will continue to do it's
   thing; Novell just won't be adding anything extra to it. It sounds as
   though Novell is only interested in having a Linux distro that they
   have domain over under their auspices. Hence: they can use it as the
   foundation for their server products.
