"Novell Announces Agreement to Acquire Leading Enterprise Linux Technology Company SUSE LINUX"

Read the full article here...

Since this came pretty surprising (remember: SuSe's been denying such an agreement for more than a week) I thought it'd be nice to start a poll here :)

Novell entered into an agreement to buy SuSE Linux for $210 Million (US) today. In related news, Novell also announced that IBM intends to make a $50 million investment in Novell convertible preferred stock.

And IBM is getting into the act as well...
