Let's spread another: "Novell is going to buy Sun !"

It's doubtful the big fella (BIG BLUE) would let Sun buy Novell, don't forget that they have invested at least 50 million US in Novell and I'm sure they can trump Sun any day. As for the other one suggested for spreading, Novell would sink under the weight of what it had just bought and be smothered to death. Sun is upbeat with Solaris 10, they've had to admit Linux is of some use and also that x86 is good architecture - the wind is blowing this way and somehow they hope Linux will act as a lifeline to Solaris, though at times you have to wonder if the noise in the distance is really a train coming or if it's just a sound recording. I've installed the beta version of Solaris 10 for SPARC here, same old same old tired CDE and as far as I can tell, same old, same old dog to admin, so it shouldn't cause anyone's earnings to diminish if they do Solaris for a living. It's needed more disk resources than Solaris 8, but it seems snappier. Drat, looks like the SPARC box has at least a bad power supply or blown internal fuse after a power cut overnight.
