Novell to Acquire Suse

whaase · 11-08-2003, 11:09 AM

I might, but in the last 2-3 months RH stock went from $6+- to $15.38. They had a announcement on Thursday - Just talking about Fedora, and their stock jumped about $0.75. It doesn't take much to get it moving!

i dont think IBM will be buying red hat anytime soon. they are backing the novell purchase of suse. they are even investing in novell to help out, 50 million dollars worth!

plus with novell's purchase of ximiam in august, they will have everything an enterprise would want. from servers to desktops and even an email groupware type server called openexchange, they can really make a dent in the M$ world. holding my breath though to see how this all folds out.

yeah a few users here have mentioned that the suseforums are down. either bad timing or a change in their support mech.

An article on elreg says SCO is trying to block the purchase of SuSe by Novell.
