Openfiler Storage Management Software GPL'd

An anonymous reader writes "According to an article on The Inquirer, a UK based company has set up a GPL'd Linux-based storage management project called Openfiler, and donated its code to it. There are some nice screenshots showing off its features. Apparently, the code itself will be available for download on 30th of October. There is a press release on the company's website. The concept of special purpose Linux distributions for enterprise applications seems to be picking up in recent years, with release of products from SuSE, Smoothwall and the like."

I, for one, welcome our new openfiling overlords.

A new System V derivitive work. SCO, the supreme overlord over all Unix code, welcomes the new openfiling Intelectual Property to add to its growing portfolio.

I hear MS is making a system like this.

Instead of calling it OPENfiler though they are going to call it DEfiler.
