The following is meant with a mixture of humor and seriousness.

This is the same Novell that bought Unix from AT&T and botched it? Our
company has the good fortune of being the kiss of death to every Unix/Linux
platform we have chosen. We have been wondering how SuSE was going down
after we settled on it. Our 'heritage' for primary platform is:

AT&T SVR4 -> AT&T SVR4.2 -> Univel UnixWare -> Novell UnixWare -> SCO
UnixWare -> Caldera OpenLinux -> SuSE Linux.

I would love to be wrong here. But ain't no arguing with history.

We have even considered doing the world a big favor and going MS.
