Novell Releases PostgreSQL for NetWare

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the love-it-on-linux-love-it-everywhere dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ever since Oracle announced they wouldn't port 9i to NetWare, Novell has been scrambling to find an enterprise-capable DB. Now it looks like they're settling on PostgreSQL. This follows their decision to ship Apache as the default web server for NetWare 6. Linux aficionados might sneer at an old workhorse like NetWare, but it's got more than 80 million client licenses worldwide, and it ain't going anywhere anytime soon."

    how has this company managed to get a hold of marketshare? why does it maintain these 80 million licenses? what edge does it offer? how does it differ?
