Rumours and speculations about the possible sale of Mandriva were
given a new twist last week when Gaël Duval, the distribution's
founder and current CTO of Ulteo, noted (blog post in French) that
Novell could be another party with interest in the troubled French
Linux company. He links to this article by L'informaticien (also in
French) which has talked to John Dragoon, Novell's senior vice
president and chief marketing officer. This is the (translated) reply:
"Some aspects of the Mandriva company are interesting, for sure. We
have great respect for their technology, although that's not really
what interests us. What would be more worthwhile for us is its
installed customer base." However, the article concludes that Novell
is unlikely to bid for Mandriva as it is currently distracted by
trying to resist an (inadequate) takeover bid from one of its main
shareholder, while offering itself for sale to as many as twenty other
potential buyers.
