[Wolves] IBM to buy Red Hat

[Simon Burke]

I'm not overly surprised. Though I am hoping this doesn't go the way of
Oracle buying Sun.

People have already been discussing migrating to SuSe, but SuSe isn't doing
great at the moment since leaving Micro Focus.

I think it's going to be a case of just waiting to see what happens. I
don't think it will be all bad, but IBM does have a reputation of being the
place software goes to die (apparently).
