IBM And Intel Help Rescue SuSE From Insolvency

Posted by timothy on from the bread-gets-buttered dept.

mutantcamel writes: "A report on NetworkFusion states that SuSE has avoided insolvency thanks to a fresh round of investment that raised $45.5 million for the ailing company. IBM and Intel are among the players that have announced their support for the company. The rescue package comes after quite a turbulent time at SuSE HQ, but the company seems optimistic about the future."

    too bad IBM tried to save them...

    if SuSe goes belly up, than IBM would probably move to Debian as it's official Distro and help with the RS/6000 port...

    With IBM haviong said that they would put One Billion dollars usian into Linux, what's a measely 45 million dollar in the mix?

    I figure they probably what to keep as much diversity as possible going. So IBM makes sense in a way.

    But what about Intel? I'm not up to speed on their involvement.
