Novell postpones today's earnings release
,----[ Quote ]
| While presenting the move as merely "an abundance of caution," Novell
| announced this morning that it is postponing its fourth-quarter earnings
| release and conference call that had been scheduled for today.

| In other words, Novell has an "in" with Microsoft which Red Hat does not;
| Utah and Redmond are in bed together and Red Hat is an intruder.
