Sun Microsystems Weighs Takeovers

Wall Street Journal (registration required): "The long-ailing computer maker has looked at "a number of acquisitions," including software maker Novell Inc., said Sun President Jonathan Schwartz, as part of efforts to bolster its business in server systems and to angle for advantage against International Business Machines Corp. and Red Hat Inc., which sells the most popular version of the Linux operating system. 'We're one of the best-financed companies to pursue an aggressive acquisition strategy,' Mr. Schwartz said. Acquisitions are 'a topic of daily debate' at the company, he added. Mr. Schwartz said Sun hasn't engaged in negotiations with Novell, of Waltham, Mass. A Novell spokesman declined to comment."
