This is being reported widely in the news in relation to Red Hat's recent purchase of JBoss. There has been talk about Oracle buying Novell (SuSE) to compete with Red Hat. This is mostly tripe as Novell does not appear to be anywhere near a situation that would warrant a buyout. And now Larry Ellison (Oracle) is making comments about wiping various Linux distros off the map including both Red Hat and SuSE. He might be the 2nd richest man in the software industry, but he's certainly no runner up in having his head shoved up his ass.
