Story: SuSE takeover 'pushed customers to Debian'

I agree with the previous poster. The idea that Germans are arrogant enough to ditch SuSE just because it's been taken over by an American Company is ridiculous. It is far more likely to be the same problem that Red Hat has been having ever since it changed it's licensing scheme and started charging more. In fact the Red Hat licence scheme change also benefited Debian for a while as many SysAdmins and CIO's decided there was little point in paying an extortionate sum for GNU/Linux when it (the software) is available from a great vendor like Debian for free.
