Which is a good thing. Although I didn't like parts of SuSE when I tried it
out, it is a good distro, and I hate to see the community lose a good distro.
On the Corel Linux, I actually bought a copy, and although it was rather
sparse, I found it to be quite stable. I agree Novell might have been
able to improve and market it. I also think this is a good potential move.
My only fear is when I think about this whole thing, I keep seeing Kahn
saying with his last breath quoting Melville's Captain Ahab
"from hell's heart I stab at thee;
for hates sake I spit my last breath at thee."
