Novell/SUSE Prime for Aquisition?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the big-ticket-companies dept.

Ho Kooshy Fly writes "Supposedly Novell/SUSE looks like a good buyout target now. The likes of the obvious, IBM and the less obvious Cisco might be interested in integrating in the new Novell/SUSE company into their portfolio." Lucent, AT&T, and HP are also mentioned as possible buyers, but it's important to remember that it's all still just speculation.

    Not HP/ComDEC! That is the place where tech goes to die. Besides, they would rather spend their money on new GulfStream 5's.

    you mean a P/390.... S/390 would pretty much destroy not only the desk you placed it, but most likely it will collapse the floor your desk was sitting on.
