Virtualisation software maker VMware has plans to buy Novell's Linux operating system business open source Suse , while Attachmate wants to buy what is left.

For More Years than I care to remember, I've been a Fanboy of SuSE
Linux (Yeah, way back when they spelled it that way).
Then Novell took it over and I said: "Oh, oh, this can't be good."
So I turned my back on it and bounced around other Distros
finally settling on Ubuntu and Fedora Core up to 9.X.

Right now I'm running Mint
(gnome 32 bit Live version -- not Debian)
on VirtualBox.

To Me, Novell was just too close to the

It seems Novell started having a tough time keeping the Open Source
Software in the right egg baskets.
Just this last week it appears Novell decided to sell Suse Linux to
VMWare, the virtualization company.
Hopefully this is a good thing.
