Is Novell selling itself or just Suse Linux?

Will VMWare buy just Suse Linux or will they buy all of Novell?  There is a lot of speculation that seems to be pointing towards a buy of just SuSe Linux.  But if they do that we want to know what's left?  So for just a little bit more why not buy it all.  That's why I think buying the whole company makes more sense.  Novell owns one of the few pure closed source LDAP Servers left.  That means that for companies concerned with Open Source what should be a profitable product line for Novell or who ever buys them.  Novell has always had smart people and is always a leader where technologies are concerned.  The marriage of Novell and VMWare makes a lot of sense.  Both companies would benifit and VMWare can afford to make the deal.
