Novell to Make Linux Robust and Reliable
An anonymous coward writes: "It seems the folks over at Novell have the answer to making the "immature" Linux OS more "robust, reliable and scaleable" according to this Computer Weekly article. We have a lot more problems to use and keep running our NetWare 5 and 6 servers at our University than we've ever had with any of our Linux servers. I can't wait for Novell to help us out here."
Bye Novell.

Maybe Novell will also do away with that pesky TCP/IP and replace it with a more "robust and mature" protocol!
Novell who? I vaguely remember someone with a name like this long ago, that had an OS that would only run a small number of proprietary programs on very selective hardware. Do they really still exist?

I thought IBM had already made linux more robust, reliable and scaleable, by stealing code from SCO.
Linux does not exist. It is a fabrication of some unemployed geek infidels to slander our glorious Microsoft. There are no bugs in Windows, never! Bill Gates has forbidden bugs, therefore there are none! Do not believe them!

Corning is going to make glass clear
Chevron is going to make gasoline inflammable
and
Debeers is going to make diamonds hard.
Pretty keen of Novell to jump in and "make" Linux what it already is.

As someone who has in fact worked with Banyan in the last two years, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that it rides the short bus in the network operating system world.
Sad thing is, I made the mistake of putting Banyan on my resume, and now I actually get calls for it:
Recruiter: "Says here you're an experienced Banyan admin..."
Me: "Yup."
Recruiter: "So do you work with Banyan full-time?"
Me: "No. Mostly I point at it and laugh."
Recruiter: "So you aren't interested in the only Baynan job I've run across in 10 years of recruiting? Pay is... uh, you'd get paid!"
Me: "Not unless I get paid to point and laugh."
Recruiter: "So what is Banyan, anyway?"
I took it off after about the fourth call I got like that, but I still get some desperate bastard calling me about every three months.
