Full information regarding this acquisition can be found here on the SUSE Linux website.

Although I've been a bit sceptical about the Novell acquisition of SUSE when it was first
announced a few months ago, overall I hope it results in good things for SUSE Linux
users, and of course, the entire GNU/Linux community worldwide also . . .

I'm looking forward to the next version of SuSE Linux, which I hope will sport the Novell logo. :)

I believe the move was also good for the Linux community at large.

Well, yes.

It will be interesting to see how they come up with something.
