IBM Invests $50M in Novell, May Ship SUSE Linux

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the big-deals dept.

dave writes "Novell announced that it has finalized a $50 million investment from IBM, and that IBM can now begin shipping SUSE Linux on all IBM server platforms. Historically, IBM has been a 'Red Hat shop,' and one has to wonder if this is a harbinger of things to come."

    i am no longer in the IT world, so forgive my ignorance, but is IBM really that much of a player in the server market anymore? Also, don't they use PowerPC processors and AIX. Does SuSE have a PowerPC port? I thought it was purely Intel.

    also, first post or some nonsense.
