Who Else Is Bidding for Novell? We've heard...

There are a lot of names being mentioned in the Novell auction. The newsiest is that Silver Lake Partners, the PE firm that invests in big tech companies like Instinet and Flextronics, is supposedly bidding for Novell. Some people are saying they are involved and some are saying the rumors are completely false. I don't know what to believe. GTCR Golder Rauner, the Chicago PE firm, is also being mentioned. GTCR was looking at Novell, sources say, but it's not clear if they are still involved.
