Ellison: Oracle looked at buying Novell

In a move that goes a long way to making my blood boil, Oracle is apparently looking to buy Novell. Why, you might ask, would this cause me heartburn? Well, I’ve been a SuSE user now for several years. I cringe at the thought of what could go wrong with this purchase.

Oracle boss Larry Ellison has revealed that his company considered a takeover of Novell and may soon enter into the Linux market itself.

Now Larry is prone to grandstanding from time to time. I just hope that the open version of SuSE will continue to survive. Otherwise I will have to make that final move…and join the Mac hordes at long last.
