[GLLUG] Commercial Presentations

[Craig Weaver]

As a former RedHat junkie I am now moving more and more towards SuSE.  I 
especially like the direction Novell is going with linux and the 
integration at all levels (server to desktop) as well as their 
commitment to opensource and connecting existing Novell software into 
linux.  I would think a presentation by Novell would be a great idea and 
one that would get me to make the drive from Owosso for one of these 
meetings. I would be greatly interested in what they would have to say.
