Ps Anyone going to Novell HQ on Tuesday for the Linux seminar? --

If this seminar is another in the series that Novell are doing to promote their newly acquired SuSE product � Then don�t expect too much in the way of Linux specifics!. In the one I attended in Leeds last week, the opening and closing bits were dire, the 2nd up was a talk by a chap from IBM, which was well presented and interesting, albeit not directly related to SuSE. The bulk of the day was given up a role place scenario between two Novell people who wanted to demonstrate the ease of use and implementation of SuSE in a corporate environment. The main problem I had with all this was that it was heavily promoting all shiny and GUI �bolt on� bits that potentially cost a fortune and would be prohibitive to Edu. (Well it will be to us anyway!). Their main announcement was that that NetWARE 7 - Now called Open Enterprise Server will be launched early in December. Summary - The goody-bag and the lunch were good and there was some interesting bits. Phil Brown (Sorry I'm new to posting here, so I should have introduced myself 1st - will do that bit soon)

Hi Phil, If it is any consolation - B'ham was the same. About half the audience was expecting Linux orientation - half Novell. Some odd interesting questions were posed - and a local SUSE partner was present in the audience - which helped with some questions when they contributed. Very focussed at Novell users. Needed bringing together more - or two half groups with different focus brought together near end. Regards John On Thu, 01 Jul 2004 09:47:29 +0100 Phil Brown wrote:
