It can only help. As much as I love Evolution, I despise Ximian because
of how much of a mess it made of my system, and the whole "long in as
root and pipe a url through root" install method. That and the
dependency hell. I would imagine that Novell would be able to improve
on that.
We certainly live in interesting times. . . .
