Novell as Open Source Hero?
ccnull writes "Who's the #2 Linux vendor in the world? Would you believe Novell? Infoworld takes a look at this long-struggling giant and how it has (and hasn't) reinvented itself as an open source company in the face of utterly losing the LAN market to Microsoft." The piece argues: "But even though it seems to be holding all the right cards, Novell faces tough odds. In recent years, tough competition from Microsoft and dwindling support from third-party developers have caused Novell's once-loyal base to look elsewhere for infrastructure needs. Unless it can win back the loyalty of the industry, Novell's new, Linux-centric message could fall on deaf ears."
We had netware at my work when I first got here. It took me ages to pry it out of the fevered grip of my boss. PLEASE DON'T LET THEM GAIN BACK INDUSTRY SUPPORT!

this is a plus? groupwise has got to be the absolute worst workgroup app that i've ever had the displeasure of using.
