Novell to Launch Quick-Response Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday September 21, 2006 @09:33AM from the that's-awful-fast dept.

Krishna Dagli writes to mention a C|Net article about Novell's upcoming real-time Suse Linux Enterprise product. From the article: "Real-time operating systems can respond to external events within a guaranteed time frame, a feature that mainstream business computing doesn't generally require but that's necessary for some areas, such as aircraft radar. But in a move that indicates the flexibility of Linux, Novell plans to begin selling the real-time variant of the open-source operating system next month."

Max Power: Kids, there's three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Bart: Isn't that the wrong way?
Max Power: Yeah, but faster!

Shouldn't Novell's financial department use it? NASDAQ and Wells Fargo will surely appreciate it :)
