Going private and re-establishing itself as a separate business unit appears to have done SUSE, the Linux company, a world of good if one goes by the comments of Nils Brauckmann, president and general manager.
Eighteen months ago, the company began re-establishing itself in Nuremberg, after having been an integral part of Novell in the US. SUSE was bought by Novell in 2003; the re-establishment came after Attachmate Corporation purchased Novell last year.
