Umm, complete bullshit. The site you mentioned was formed by the Bellevue Linux Users group (or at least hosted there.) See their site here:

ConnectExpress.com is one of their sponsors.

According to the linfo.org pages, linfo is a project of the Bellevue Linux Users Group [bellevuelinux.org].
Checking out whois isn't always the most reliable way to figure out who is behind a site.
Would you expect this [linfo.org] on a Microsoft-owned website?
(And yes, I do work for Novell. And I don't have much of a reason to defend the site, since most of the reasons listed don't expect Novell to survive, only to serve as a bad example.)
