If Reuters report is to be believed, SUSE Linux is again up for sale in the market with a price tag of $6 billion.

This is about enterprise-oriented SUSE Linux. openSUSE, on the other hand, is community-managed but heavily funded by SUSE. I like to think of SUSE Linux as Red Hat and openSUSE as Fedora.

So any decision taken by SUSE Linux impacts openSUSE, more directly than indirectly. We will have to see what direction it takes if SUSE is sold again.

Notice how I am reusing the word 'again'? That's because this is not the first time SUSE Linux has been sold.

I remember the old days when SUSE linux provided free CD/DVD in bulk (50/100) to promote their distro in schools, etc.

If Linux systems were cars, then SUSE Linux is like a BMW to me. It's unfortunate to see a good product suffering.

Never liked KDE, too many little utilities that does nothing except display info. Haven't touched it in a long time.
