Whispers...Red Hat had first dibs on buying SUSE
,----[ Quote ]
| In this case, however, it's the truth. First in line to acquire SUSE back in
| the day was...Red Hat. Matthew Szulik decided to pass on the opportunity and,
| well, the rest is history. Ironic, isn't it? With whom would Microsoft have
| done its patent deal had Novell not been around? Would Ubuntu have started
| sooner to fill the competitive Linux void?
|
| We'll never know....
