'Novell Injects MS Lawsuit Exploit Into Open Office'

Until recently I have been using almost only suse. I now have moved a
couple of significant machines to kubuntu, and do not expect any
machines to remain suse after some months - the time it will take me
to re install etc elegantly. I have no intention now of supporting
novell until further notice. I have stopped being active in support on
suse related lists etc. I regret this because it is not in the
interests of linux generally, but then, I expect ms knew this. Novell
may have been a bit naive unfortunately.
More power to K/Ubuntu!
