●● Do-No-Evil Saturday: What’s GNU at Novell?


Posted in Identity Management, Interoperability, Interview, Marketing, Novell, SLES/SLED at 6:45 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz


Maybe it’s the effect of the summer holidays, but the past week has not been packed with news. When it comes to Novell, there are only a few items worth mentioning.


KDE has received financial support from Novell. The announcement had Intel mentioned as well.

Novell seems to have begun raving about a new Identity management success story. There is another one in a Canadian Web site.

As for some personal perspectives, Novell’s PR blog has referred to one. C|Net had an interview with Brad Nicholes, who is working at Novell.

The biggest news for Novell in the past week is probably Italy’s selection of SUSE Linux for its parliament. Sarcastically for sure, Mr. Asay comes up with the headline Italian Communists choose Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. I’m not too sure about this type of humour, but maybe it’s subjective.
