Summary: Novell is said to have reached a "two-part sale deal"

This seemed inevitable. From the New York Post:

Novell Inc. has reached a deal in principle to sell itself in two parts, and is three to four weeks away from signing a deal, according to people close to the process.

More details later. Boycott Novell has been a great success (site is up again today in traffic ranking, which means there is interest in the issues). ⬆
