Putting Novell's SuSE Purchase In Perspective

Posted by timothy on from the step-back-for-a-moment dept.

An anonymous reader writes " The editors over at NewsForge.com have combined their efforts to put today's big news about Novell's purchase of SUSE in perspective: what the news means in business terms and to the Linux community, today and in the future. A good read that includes quotes from industry insiders, IRC inhabitants, and NewsForge.com readers." Another reader writes "This is a good analysis piece about how Linux has become Novell's lifeline, especially since NetWare's been dying...and post-Ximian."

    All they need is to revoke SCO's UNIX license and all of Linux companies become Novell's property automatically.

    That will be included in the dupe. Give it an hour or so.
