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.

  1. Sort of like AOL- Netscape AND Mozilla by jkrise · · Score: 0, Troll

    If they continue developing for both platforms the quality of each will suffer.

    Despite all public posturing to the contrary, Novell seems to be doing as much to Netware as AOL does to Netscape. Mozilla doesn't need AOL for survival OR growth, neither does Linux need Novell.

    Methinks since SCO seems to be losing out on the extortion route, they're using their brother Novell to make money on Linux.

    SCO and Novell are part of the Can-O'-Pee group.
