As always with almost anything that Novell is involved in nowadays there is a huge fog of FUD that lingers around like a fart in a steam room. For those involved in openSUSE and Novell I would imagine it is pretty annoying, I find it infuriating and I'm just a member of the community trying to contribute. For those that have a grudge against Novell take it up with them through the proper channels, DO NOT attack the openSUSE community in an infantile manner. Doing so only damages your credibility and also damages the greater Linux and Open Source community.
If you want to make claims, please do back them up with genuine information - not "i heard from Suzie's boyfriend's cousin's parrot that XYZ" etc. If you provide proof of your claims then you will hold a damn site more credibility. I'm not going to advertise which FUD sites are culprits, they're in the IRC logs. Novell and openSUSE must be doing something right otherwise these ignorant people wouldn't bother with the crud and polluting the ether. I would like to applaud and thank all the openSUSE and Novell guys and girls for what will be an excellent release and for making my life in computing enjoyable, involving and educational.
Oh and by the way Roy, KISS MY ARSE!!
