Novell has recently acquired Immunix Inc. "Big Linux company acquires 
smaller Linux security company" is not totally surprising, but neither
is it obvious that Novell desperately needed to acquire a security
company. This talk will describe the many and various ways that Novell
and Immunix synergize together, and how this matters to a technology
worker who wants to keep working there.

Usual meeting rules apply. Happy Hour meal prices for the first hour.
