I am surprised that Novell waited this long for making it public. When I saw the press
articles about the new RoadRunner super-computer that will rank #1 on the top500 list and is
running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I looked at the top500 list and noticed that for the top20
most of them either were running an 'unidentified' Linux or (modified) SLES.

Which made me wonder why Novell did not advertise it more than it did. Now that Red Hat made
those headlines I guess some people at SuSE woke up and realized they should have made some
more noise about this public secret.

On the eve of a new top500 list being released Novell is trying to harvest the past. A lost
opportunity :-/
