[olug] Novell & Microsoft

[Sean J. Edwards]

What does this mean for OpenSuSE?  Is Microsoft just getting one step
closer to RedHat?  How will this agreement affect RedHat, Fedora and
White Box?  Will there be a big development shift to Debian and related
distro's? Could this be the end of RPM?

I firmly stand by Debian
