I am SUSE-curious after all the drama and lost trust with RedHat and IBM but any partnership with Oracle makes me uncomfortable.

Well it was SCO back in the United Linux days--albeit it wasn't the evil SCO yet at that time. (Though as others have remarked, there's a different objective at play here.)

Are you going through a corporate proxy? Some of them will MITM newly-registered domains but not established ones.

So they're not trying to create something like RHEL but in a way that is committed to being more 'open' somehow. They're still shooting for the bug-for-bug stuff, and still an effort that's parasitic on RHEL in terms of its substantive development.

This whole situation sucks.

Hrm. Just going to keep sticking with Debian and Ubuntu like I've been doing since ... wow, 1997.

For personal and small business needs, you can stick to whatever you'd like, even Arch Linux if that's your poison. That's not the aim of the announcement though.
