SCO appeals Unix ruling, seeks a second act

,----[ Quote ]
| On Wednesday, SCO filed an appeal challenging an Aug. 10 ruling by a federal 
| judge in Utah that Novell Inc., McBride's former employer, owns the rights to 
| Unix operating system software. SCO sued Novell in 2004 over Unix, which has 
| been SCO's lifeblood.

Can Novell’s Linux business stand on its own?

,----[ Quote ]
| Novell has been on this Linux kick for a while, but less than 10 percent of 
| its revenue comes from Linux so far. Linux is a fast growing market, but 
| Novell trails Red Hat, a company that simply executes better. For instance, 
| Citigroup analyst Brent Thill notes Novell is a serial restructurer and plans 
| to change its go-to-marketing strategy again. He calls Novell’s execution 
| uneven.     
| 
| To be sure, Novell has some time to build its Linux business and there’s more 
| gravy to come. So far, Microsoft-related Linux revenue has totaled $105 
| million out of a $240 million expected.
