Even OpenSUSE recognises drawbacks of Mono
Mention Mono in a story and you are certain to draw two kinds of readers - the followers, those who have drunk the kool-aid ladled out by Novell vice-president Miguel de Icaza, and the detractors, who realise that it could cause them patent headaches a few years hence.
Given this, I was not surprised at the fuss over the appearance of Gnote, an application for notes, which was a rewrite of Tomboy. The difference? Tomboy is dependent on Mono. Gnote is not.
Now it looks like the people who run the OpenSUSE project - that's the community GNU/Linux distribution sponsored by Novell - have themselves realised that Mono can be a stumbling block.
Nothing else can account for the fact that OpenSUSE has decided to create a port of Easy-LTSP, an application used for configuring thin clients.
