Worked out well for Xamarin. Also, it seems to me that SUSE is still in good shape, but didn't continued to grow like RedHat.

- scholia 11y agoEric Schmidt on Novell, recently: "I went to Novell under the mistaken goal of being a CEO. I didn’t do the due diligence, and if I had, I wouldn’t have gone. Our basic goal was to get out with our professional reputations intact and not end up in jail. The books were cooked, and people were frauds. But it turns out you can overcome that, and the skills I developed helped at Google." https://medium.com/cs183c-blitzscaling-class-collection/cs183c-session-8-eric-schmidt-56c29b247998#.k04mz8vlu https://medium.com/cs183c-blitzscaling-class-collection/cs18...
- aabbccdd 11y agoNovell didn't crash because of linux and SUSE. Suse was the healthy core of the company and was growing in recent years. The original Novell business however died, it had nothing to do with linux.
