There is quite a bit of information being put forward in the SuSE mail 
group called suse-linux-e (e for English). If you go to the SuSE site to 
the mail groups and interrogate this 'group looking for a poster called 
Fred A Miller you will get URLs for media articles on this topic. For 
example, this one is quite interesting:
