Novell is talking to a number of OEMs about getting its upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 preinstalled on the hardware systems they ship. But while Ron Hovsepian, Novell's president and chief operating officer, said the company had nothing to announce in this regard at its annual BrainShare conference here, Novell is talking to a number of key vendors like Dell in this regard. "I know there is an opportunity here and we are working on the how and the when," he said in a media and analyst question and answer session. The delay of Vista could not have come at a better time for Novell, in this regard.

I don't see the relevance in the topic of Novell entering the OEM desktop market. Fedora and openSUSE have nothing to do with it, though Ubuntu is a competitor.
- Like Dapper, 10.1 beta8 is a beta. Which means both have bugs, but you pointed out the bugs of one of the them and ignored the bugs of the other.
- FC5 needs an update to support proprietary Linux drivers. That update is available unofficially from Red Hat and will be available officially in a matter of days.
- I thought openSUSE was the "Open Source Software edition" version of SUSE Linux? I don't see proprietary software in there.
