Novell Headed To Linux Enterprise Desktop In Asia

Bill Kendrick writes "Novell's Asia-Pacific division is working on Linux desktop trials in Hong Kong and Malaysia, with the expectation that Linux's adoption on enterprise desktops will continue to grow. They expect many more companies to start embracing it within the next 12 months." A spokesperson from Novell comments: "I don't see it as a watershed where everybody's running Linux desktops, but you'll start to see the emergence of some examples of companies that have embraced Linux and are going down that path."

    - Real Player

    Ooo! I know!

    #!/bin/sh
    # RealPlayerOne, Linux port ( Dark Lord Seth, 01-03-2004 )

    dd if=/dev/random of=~/realplayer.tmp bs=1024 count=1024
    dd if=/dev/random of=~/tmp/realplayer.core bs=1024 count=1024
    dd if=/dev/random of=/var/real/buffer bs=1024 count=10240

    echo "Buffering...\n\n"
    sleep 10

    echo "Buffering...\n\n"
    sleep 10

    echo "Buffering...\n\n"
    sleep 10

    echo "Connection reset by peer."

    #rm ~/realplayer.tmp
    #rm ~/tmp/realplayer.core
    #rm /var/real/buffer
