Brainshare Reports: NLD 10, Novell's Linux Switch
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.
No, a better analogy would be as follows: "I would not be allowed to starve my broccoli to death, but a precious young woman with the brain of a broccoli is OK?!
The only problem with that is that it's perfectly legal to kill both broccoli stalks and broccoli brained woman, no matter how precious either of them are.
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.

Lazy cunt!
IANAL but write like a drunk one.
Why don't they just go find it in the menu like they do with Windows? Oh, because your whole point would be moot.
Really? Last time I tried out Linux (meaning I tried out all of the various types to see if any worked), when I could get a program to successfully install, it never seemed to make it onto any kind of menu. I remember specifically installing Firefox onto one distribution. After I installed it, I couldn't start it! No shortcut, no nothing. I tried to go poking through the file structure to find an executable, but I never found it. Suffice to say, that hard drive was re-formatted, and Windows 2000 was re-installed.
I don't respond to AC's.
Will mr Goodwin please pick up the white courtesy phone?
Someone needs to port linux to run on vegetables!
