VMware Looks To Acquire Novell's SUSE Unit

Posted by Soulskill on from the talking-turkey dept.

minutetraders writes "According to the Wall Street Journal, VMware is attempting to acquire Novell's SUSE Linux operating system business. This move would give VMware a full stack of enterprise software and allow it to establish itself as a full-blown infrastructure and software vendor in direct competition with Red Hat." The WSJ report is behind a paywall, but it's accessible in full through a Google search.

    I had previously noticed that this works for all WSJ articles. Does anyone know why? Is Google paying the WSJ for content?

    You said the B-word. You might as well have pointed out Obama's true religion. By which I mean, he's a Goa'uld. Apophis-looking mu'fu, and no mistake.
