Looks to me that's what's happening here. These techies either own mondo Novell stock, or they were told by the suits, "you will do damage control for us, or we might have to start laying people off. Gee...that's a mighty nice paycheck you're receiving there...shame if it went away...." Novell/SUSE Linux will not be coming near any machine that I control, any sooner than Microsoft Windows will. Debian, Red Hat, here I come!
However, they are correct to criticize Canonical, and Mark Shuttleworth, for including those proprietary video drivers by default in the upcoming Ubuntu. They did make a pretty bone-headed decision there. Yeah, I know, Debian's got non-free repositories, too. But that non-free stuff ain't in the default install.
