Yup, me too. Responding to another poster, what they should have done was take SuSe, sell SuSe as a consumer linux, but then use the codebase to build a business-grade version, and renamed it Netware. That name still has value. Had they done that, they'd probably keep their existing NW customers (which is where all the money comes from), and put themselves in position to compete for new ones. "Here's your new Netware upgrade, now with the power and flexibility of Linux".
Instead, they're sticking with the SuSe name and that dumb lizard. Novell won't exist in 10 years. They'll have gone bankrupt, and whatever assetts they have auctioned off to creditors.

Great suggestion, Especially given that Linux supports the protocols and tools behind netware..
