The pressure is growing on Novell Inc's management to make major strategic changes after a regulatory filing revealed a Novell shareholder has joined Credit Suisse First Boston in calling for change at the identity management and Linux vendor. The steps proposed by the investment firm include cutting costs by targeting Novell's two corporate jets, its "overstaffed" R&D department, legacy products, and its 400 NetWare engineers, as well as selling non-core businesses to enable funds to be redeployed.

Right now they seem to be more than just a repackager of Open Source software, which free organizations like Debian and Gentoo and Canonical do so well.
The thing is that model is never going to cut it for an organization like Novell. Novell has to have some value-added of their own that is distinct from services/support.
