From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Here is the actual article title:

CIQ, Oracle and SUSE Create Open Enterprise Linux Association for a Collaborative and Open Future

New trade association brings together open source Enterprise Linux community

It will provide an open process to access source code that organizations can use to build distributions compatible with RHEL

I've worked with SuSE on a collaborative enterprise linux before.

It was an unmitigated nightmare, and I'm convinced they killed Conectiva and Turbo.
