Even Novell has not successfully implemented it in house on a corporate scale.

Take the sentence as give. Parse according to standard english rules. It means what it says. A month of 4 ago, an interview in an issue of one of the linux rags with some Novell corporate exec indicated that they had not been able to make Zen work reliably corporate wide either for Netware OR SLES. I'm sorry, I just don't have access to the source anymore. But Zenworks' emphasis is on management of large and widely distributed networks, with less emphasis on updates to the underlying OS. It would not seem wise or necessary to replace a working package maintenance tool with a broken one in those installations. It seems less wise to foist Zen on the small market version of your distro and suffer the slings and arrows of thousands of small single server users and home users. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
