哪里来的消息？这样可不好   suse适合给一般pc用户？怀疑

suse，有必要存在么？

hp是mdk的股东。。。。

谁敢说suse没有存在的理由呢，
2.6.5的内核有很大部分代码是suse人员更新的，比redhat还显得重要。它现在的主人是曾经风光的Novell。
找了半天的开发人员列表，竟然找不到mdk的，国内似乎仅有中国科技大学人员的一项。

At Novell's annual BrainShare conference last week, the company announced an expanded partnership with Hewlett-Packard whereby HP will lead with Novell's newly acquired SuSE commercial Linux distribution, as much as possible, on everything from laptops to high-end servers. The caveat "as much as possible" is only limited to the speed at which languages and applications are supported in SuSE by Novell.

While the HP and Novell press releases did not say this explicitly, Ephraim Rivera, worldwide director of Linux marketing at HP, did in an interview describing the deal. The expanded relationship that Novell and HP announced this week builds on evolving relationships that HP has forged with both SuSE and Red Hat in the past year. Rivera was careful to add that leading with SuSE does not mean not supporting Red Hat, Turbolinux, Mandrake, Red Flag, or other Linux distributions as local conditions and specific customers require. It just means that both HP and Novell are going to push each other's products together as much as is practical.（HP的linux全球市场总监Ephraim Rivera谨慎表示：由于区域限制和特定客户的需求，以SuSE为主导不意味着放弃对Red Hat, Turbolinux, Mandrake, Red Flag或其它linux发行版的支持，只是意味着HP和Novell将尽可能的将双方的产品结合在一起。）
