LinuxFormat (UK) magazine reports in it's Christmas, 2003 edition, on
page 6, in the 'Newsdesk' section, "SuSE, Europe's biggest Linux vendor,
has been acquired by Novell, Inc."

Also, on the editorial page, Nick Veitch writes, "By the time you read
this, I'm sure there will have been plenty more statements about
Novell's purchase of SuSE."

Maybe they got it wrong and jumped the gun.
