Corel May Have A Buyer For Its Linux Division

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the business.com-cost-$7-million dept.

SimJockey writes: "Looks like Corel is getting out of the Linux distro business." According to an anonymous source, says the article, "a newly formed company called Xandros will pay $2 million for the Linux unit, a division that comprised about 14 percent of Corel's total business as of January 2001." The Corel distro did some things well, so good things may come out of this sale.

    Hrmm...a coworker today brought up Corel Linux. I steered him toward RedHat or SuSE because I thought that Corel was leaving Linux altogether and didn't know what the future of the distro is.

    I'd heard good things about it too, too bad.
