Putting Novell's SuSE Purchase In Perspective

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."

I worked with Novell. As long as you just wanted file and print services they were ok. If you wanted to run an application, it was a complete waste of time. As soon as NT 4.0 was in SP2 there was no point in wasting time with Novell. SUSE is toast. So is Novell. Linux? Bye Bye.
