I don't get it. Oracle already runs on Linux. So what good would it do
Oracle to buy Novell? That could only possibly appeal to end-users. And
since the enduser tools for Oracle are free (as in beer) and not hard to install...
I just don't get it. Even  though all of this "integration" is working
for microsoft now, I don't think it will last long. As the general
public at large becomes more computer-savy they will want more choice.
They won't want everything boxed up in one nice neat package that can't
be altered.
