Having worked with Novell products for many moons, which now I don't, I feel it is Novells last chance to remain in the market. Novell have one good main technology and that is Novell Directory Services. I would much like to see NetWare replaced by Linux. Just remembering all those long nights sorting out NetWare servers aggghhhhh.

I've been thinking about this.
I feel overall it may well turn out to be a good thing, for Novel,SuSE and Linux as a whole. But I find myself a little disturbed by the vanishing commercial Linux distributer in the desktop market.
If Novel's ship goes down then SuSE could get dragged with them, one less commercial desktop distributer this shortly after Red Hat's shift in focus would not be a good thing.
