Users of the Fedora Linux community distribution would do well to switch over to an alternative like Debian GNU/Linux or openSUSE before Red Hat leaves them in the lurch too.

Germany-based open source vendor SUSE has decided to drop its OpenStack Cloud distribution and instead focus on application delivery.

Germany-based open source company SUSE has appointed former SAP official Melissa Di Donato as its chief executive in a move it claims will mark "the next phase of growth and momentum" for the firm.

Germany-based open source company SUSE says it has recorded revenue slightly over US$400 million during its last fiscal year, a rise of about 15% year-on-year, part as an independent company and part as a public entity under the banner of British mainframe vendor Micro Focus.

Open source firm SUSE has completed the process of acquisition by its fourth owner — Swedish growth investor EQT — and says it would now be the largest independent open source company, a status that Red Hat once enjoyed until it was bought by IBM.

Germany-based SUSE Linux has gone through its fourth sale in the last 15 years, with the new owner, Swedish growth investor EQT, having acquired the company from current owner, Britain's Micro Focus, for US$2.535 billion, with the UK firm using the proceeds to repay part of its existing debt.

Germany-based open source company SUSE Linux has appointed its first solutions partner for the Asia-Pacific and Japan, nominating cloud, managed services and infrastructure consultancy Aptira to fill the role.

The Germany-based SUSE Linux marked a milestone over the last few days: on Friday, 2 September, the company turned 25, a remarkable achievement in an industry where the remains of software companies litter the landscape around the world.

SUSE Linux has been acquired thrice in its history. Now the company, a Nuremberg-based independent business unit of the British mainframe group Micro Focus, has gone to the other side of the tracks, announcing that it will be making its first ever acquisition.

As the company that holds number two rank among open source outfits, SUSE Linux isn't normally the kind of entity that tends to indulge in name calling.

Going private and re-establishing itself as a separate business unit appears to have done SUSE, the Linux company, a world of good if one goes by the comments of Nils Brauckmann, president and general manager.
