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.

  1. timothy is gay? by timothy · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, though that might be useful sometimes.

    timothy is single, but alas for all those who wish he was not, and despite a lack of overwhelming evidence, is also heterosexual.

    I don't mind that you wish I was gay, it's very flattering and all, but sadly, it was not to be.
