Actually I don't look down at Novell as a dead company.
After all any company worth $2.5 Billion can't be too
dead. Plus all this SCO garbage may actually help them.
Because there is no way SCO can go after SuSE once the
deal is closed, since Novell still owns Unix SysVR4.

I mirror your hope about SuSE. I would like to see SuSE
remain as a viable distro, even if the name does someday change.
