Novell hasn't actually said this, that I know of. I've heard rumors
about it, but so far as I know, Novell hasn't said they'll be getting
rid of Netware. It would be an extraordinarily bad move for Novell to
become another Linux distro company. As we've seen, it's hard to make it
in that market. Red Hat seems to be the latest example of this.
