Novell's earnings increase thanks to lawsuit, Linux

It's good to see a Linux company making money. What I found interesting in this article though, was the revenue breakdown for Novell. Out of $304.6 million in revenue for the quarter ending July 3, only $12 million in revenue was from its Suse Linux business. It's easy sometimes to forget just how big Novell still is. While they are doing all the right things now, with only 4% of their revenue being Linux based at this point, you almost have to wonder what they would do if their Linux arm doesn't meet their expectations. Having Novell and Red Hat competing is good from everyone, so let's hope they do the “right thing”.
