Novell Acquires SuSE
November 4th, 2003
About a week ago, I heard a rumor that Novell attempted to acquire SuSE for $120 million, but that it failed. Apparently either that rumor was a half-truth or some renegotiating was done, but Novell has officially acquired SuSE Linux for the tidy sum of $210 million. This is another excellent step by Novell to position themselves in the Enterprise Linux space. Another piece of good news, IBM is investing $50 million in Novell.
