Novell Not Dumping Netware

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the still-going-strong dept.

jerel writes "eWeek describes how Novell will still develop and support NetWare. The eWeek article quotes Bruce Lowry, a top spokesman for Novell as saying, 'The bottom line is no. The whole thing with Linux is an additive thing. We're not dumping NetWare, we're adding Linux.' NetWare 7.0 will allow users to either upgrade to the latest version of the NetWare kernel or move to Linux." I guess this answers any lingering doubts going around.

    SQL server 200X is better than oracle/mysql (pathetic)/whatever.
    Yes, it is. Please, let us know what site you are running with SQL Server. Please tell me that you have credit cards on it. oh yeah baby. Well, you don't have to tell us. I can find out on my own, once you let me know who you are. Admit it people, Microsoft has crushed us.
    Crushed us??? you mean crushed you. Doing just fine here. Think I will stay down this path.
