Novell Snaps Up Ximian
from the that-came-out-of-nowhere dept
Lots of surprise this morning in various circles about Novell buying up well-known Linux software maker Ximian. It sounds like a case where both companies were struggling a bit with direction. Novell provides money, customers, and "big corporate brand name", and Ximian provides well-known, widely used (and sometimes quite innovative) Linux apps. So, the question now is whether or not this provides the necessary boost for both companies.

Mutiny in the ranks?
Any chance this is indicative of a little dissatisfaction with the deal?
