Posted by CmdrTaco on from the couple-years-late dept.

eer writes "At BrainShare (Novell's customer/developer conference), Novell customers reacted positively to the news that they would have the choice of running Novellâ(TM)s network services on Linux or NetWare or both. Today the company provided more details by introducing Novell Nterprise Linux Services, which will give customers file, print, messaging, directory and management services in an integrated package that runs on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server distributions--along with providing those customers with comprehensive Novell technical support, training and consulting services for Linux. Partner companies, including IBM, HP, Dell, Red Hat and others, also voiced their support for Novell's Linux."

    Anyone? Bueller? I haven't seen Novell in the enterprise since I was a wee lad.

      A fortune 500 I used to consult for used Novell, but dropped it once all their workstations ran windows 2000. Laugh if you want, but it novell wasn't needed anymore.

      I suspect a lot of places running Novell don't realize they don't need it anymore.

    Government endorsement isn't a positive in this case. You've chosen as an example a recalcitrant, entrenched, slow-to-learn, aging workforce. That's why those people use Netware, not because it's better than the rest but because it's all they know and if it doesn't put more money into their pension they could give a shit less.
