Brainshare Reports: NLD 10, Novell's Linux Switch

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the significance-thereof dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Computer World has an article about Novell Linux Desktop 10, which was just announced at Brainshare, that it plans to compete directly with Windows. One of the biggest things about NLD 10 is that it will have the desktop search engine Beagle as a feature." Also from Brainshare, Joe Barr writes on NewsForge about the significance of Novell's ongoing (multi-year) transition to Linux for all of its 6,000 desktops. Consultants and software sellers of all stripes won't soon run out of TCO arguments for the products they want to push, but Novell claims to have saved $900,000 last year in Microsoft license fees alone.

    ...those NAZI bastards. I would not be allowed to starve my dog to death, but a precious young woman is OK?

      Give a dog exactly the same brain damage as Terri (legal with anesthesia). Now put the dog on your front porch. Don't feed it. Enjoy prison.

      You seem to think that Terri's husband has her out on his front porch. She's in a hospital. Several courts have upheld the right to remove her artificial life support. Even BUSH thinks that the husband should have the right to decide in these cases. He signed into law such a system while he was governor of Texas.

      Btw, it's perfectly legal to take a dog to a vet and have it put down. It happens probably millions of times a week.

    When a dog is suffering or brain dead, we actually have humane laws that let you kill them mercifully and painlessly. I think letting Terri starve is cruel to, but the right answer no one is talking about.

    How in the universe are the ancestors here on topic?

    Thanks. It's a sad day when brain-dead-blonde jokes are considered trolling!
