Now the #RedHat timeline is just getting weird. #SUSE just announced that they will invest $10 million USD in developing a #RHEL fork over the next few years.
This is in addition to continuing development of their SUSE #Linux desktop and server distributions.
I know their intent, but I'm not sure I agree with their expected outcome. They want more money via support contracts, that much is obvious. But will the ROI be worth it?
