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."

Re:Overstated but could be beneficial to Linux

another take on what happened to Novell and it's good system:

They kept Novel Certified engineers prices high. They kept the net cards priced high. They kept everything as expensive as possible and pissed of everyone because for about a decade they were the only player that made sense for a lot of people, especially PC people.

SO: they set themselves up for the fall Microsoft is also trying to make.

(1) piss everyone off.

(2) cost so much that when the competition finally outprices you it's not by a little bit, $1 or $5, but really better, like 1/10 of what you charge.

But don't worry, there are always people that got so hooked they will be good customers until their machines rust.
