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."
