[opensuse] Got a Call from Novell Today

Coolness! I got a call from a sales rep at Novell today inquiring if I'd be interested in looking at SUSE migration from Windows. I told him I was running openSUSE on my lappie and a few desktops. He said there were several dozen SLED servers (mostly oracle) and a few hundred SLES machines scattered throughout my organization. The dam has sprung a small leak! Oh, and by the way - Rory is out of the office. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I noticed when browsing the corporate net at work that some had the brains to set up a Linux_Samba test server for one of our divisions. I hope they nail it and it moves from test to production on that side. Our side is running Windows-2003 servers and they're being rebooted with obnoxious regularity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

One of my main arguments against the windows weenies at my work (which includes our CIO with a total $88M IT budget) about using Windows Workstations for hosting databases and whatnot is the fact that they must be rebooted for patches. Of course, I reboot my openSUSE laptop on a daily basis. :P -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
