[ale] Interesting note from the Wall Street Journal today

[Jeff Lightner]

I don't believe Oracle is thinking about it any more - they chose to
issue their own Linux based on RH (FC) open source.

Novell - 2 billion to buy (rough estimate).
Microsoft - Thinks about partnership. 

Redhat - 3.1 billion to buy (rough estimate)
Oracle - thinks about it. 

Hmmmmm, corellation?

"Microsoft Is Set to Give Linux a Boost
Through Partnership With Novell

Microsoft Corp. is entering into an unusual partnership with Novell Inc.
that gives a boost to the Linux operating system, a rival to the
software giant's Windows software, according to people familiar with the

companies."

There's more, but I thought everyone would be interested in seeing what
MS and Novell are up to.
