Novell Announces Agreement to Acquire SUSE
Mickey Hill writes "Novell today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire SUSE LINUX, one of the world's leading enterprise Linux companies, expanding Novell's ability to provide enterprise-class services and support on the Linux platform. Novell expects the transaction to close by the end of its first fiscal quarter (January 2004). This latest move follows Novell's August purchase of Ximian."

Linux is not a fuggin acronymn!!! I really gets on my nerves when I see it in straight-caps.
Have you read any of the Fedora Email Lists? -- RedHat are not pissing-off developers, they are opening up the development process to developers and this is resulting is loads of cool stuff happening.
I'm somewhat shocked by the amount of FUD on /. about RedHat at the moment...
The Fedora 1 CDs will be out in a few days, it'll probably be the biggest bittorrent download ever and perhaps people will start to realise that what RedHat is doing is a good thing -- they are embracing and working with the community more than ever :-)

You don't keed to be Kreskin to look into Linux's future. Even a child knows that Linux is dying. All major marketing surveys show that Linux has steadily declined in market share. Linux is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim.
Due to the troubles of Linux, abysmal sales and so on, SuSE went out of business and was taken over by Novell who sell another troubled OS. Now RedHat is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
The numbers continue to decline for Novell but Linux may be hurting the most. Look at the numbers. The loss of user base for Linux continues in a head spinning downward spiral. In truth, for all practical purposes Linux is already dead. It is a dead man walking. It's a fact: Linux is dying.
(sorry, but it just fit so well!)
