Just to confirm, SuSE has no ties to SCO and that weird crusade Darl McBride was on, right?

No. The controversy over SUSE was over Novell making an agreement with Microsoft over patents.

Novell and SCO had their own dueling lawsuits against each other.

Thanks, the details of the early decade of the year of Desktop Linux are growing murky.

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.
