Oracle Looks At Buying Novell

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the consolidation-to-continue dept.

Several readers wrote to note Larry Ellison's comments about launching an Oracle Linux Distro (great! yet another!) and that Oracle has/is also looking at purchasing Novell. The great shake-out continues.

    Why is it that Larry's on a buying spree lately? Can't he do anything useful with his own company?

    Dang, Oracle is fiesty. I know big Lar wants to kick it up a notch, but sheesh, give us a break. Just partner with RH/Novell and offer bundles or something. You don't have to buy the whole frickin' company!

    Besides, the world does not need yet another Linux distro.
