“In 2003, Novell acquired SUSE Linux, bringing the German Linux
distribution under Novell’s direction. Now eight years later, SUSE
Linux is being spun out from Novell, as is its own separate
business unit, owned by Attachmate.

“Attachmate has now appointed Nils Brauckmann as president and
general manager of the new SUSE Linux business.

“We now have a SUSE Linux business unit inside of Attachmate and
we are focused on the SUSE business and brand,” Brauckmann said.
“We have a renewed focus on Linux.”
