Yep, totally missed it. I wonder why Novell bought them. Maybe they have lots of support contracts hanging out there? Maybe to get an inside foothold in the EU?
Par for the course, for Novell to be "buying somebody". They've ruined how many companies now, and how many did they want to ruin but weren't able to get control of. So they're just going about their normal business, trying anything, this time it's Linux, another product with little proof of profit and more hype than anything.
What it shows more than anything is that at $200 million, there's any number of larger tech companies that could have eaten that up a LOOONG time ago if they thought there was any value in a Linux company. But there's not, simply because whatever technology you have, the guy next door has basically the exact same stuff. Worse, whenever you make yours better, you have to give him what you did.
They might make a go of it, but people looking at Linux solutions usually aren't ponying up much dough.
