With OES 2.0, Novell Moves NetWare To Linux

Posted by kdawson on from the xen-underneath dept.

apokryphos writes "Novell's long journey from NetWare to Linux is finally complete, with Open Enterprise Server 2.0. Linux-Watch takes a look at the newly-released OES 2.0: 'Now, with OES 2.0, the NetWare operating system kernel, NetWare 6.5 SP7, is still there if you run it, but it runs on top of the Xen hypervisor. You can also run the NetWare services, or a para-virtualized instance of NetWare, on top of Xen with the SLES (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) 10 SP 1 kernel. So, if you're wedded to NetWare and its way of doing things, you don't have to wave good-bye to it.'"

    I have yet to see a Windows server that didn't need to be rebooted several times a year. You mispelled "week".

    Or were you talking about an ADP server? You mispelled "day", then.
