--=-J8SEi4Qt3Zw1s/P8jGwk Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This brings up another question that's actually not about the product so much but Novell support. What do most people think of Novell support? Do they have good support or do they have poor support? For our project we chose SuSE over Red Hat for several reasons, knowing that Red Hat support is known to be great. It would be nice to hear that Novell support is good and that we will have support from a company that is committed to their product and their customers, and for their products future. It appears to me, based on what I've read on the web, is that they are doing that. Is this not the case?
