SuSE is bought by Novell

Well, I gues most people know now that SuSE has been acquired by Novell. People on the SLE list are going nuts, but I personally think this is a great hing for the industry. To calm you guys down, here is a poem someone wrote to describe the situation

The first Novell, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor Suseans in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay developing their app,
On a cold winter's night that was so crap.
Novell, Novell, Novell, Novell,
Born is the era of LinuxNovell.

They looked up and saw a distro
Shining in the the East, the way to go;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Novell, Novell, etc

And by the light of that same distro,
Three wise men came from the State of Utah;
To seek for a kernel was their intent,
And to follow the distro wherever it went.
Novell, etc

This star drew nigh to the southeast,
O'er Nuremberg it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where SuSE lay.
Novell, etc

Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in its presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Novell, Novell, Novell, Novell,
Money indeed has a powerful smell.
