“Markus Rex, the co-founder of SUSE Linux who became Novell’s
vice president and GM for SUSE Linux when Novell bought the company
last year, says the purchase gave SUSE a greater global outreach
and the acquisition has given Novell ‘a real appreciation of how
software gets developed in the open source world…'”“Speaking to Computerworld at a Novell event this month in
Auckland, he said that with its purchase of SUSE late last year and
Ximian a few months earlier, Novell ‘has made a clear and strong
commitment to Linux and now the SuSE team can make sure Novell gets
it right…'”
