Its the "Use your own dogfood." slogan.
Zenworks is part of Novells portfolio and not using it, or only having it as add-on product would look bad in the end.
There are for sure integration issues, which we will hopefully address in time.
The SL 10.1 distribution will use rpm-md+ repositories I have just heard, so smart (?) yum (?) will work fine too for updating 10.1. (This is not finalized yet.)
Ciao, Marcus

It doesn't really matter if Novell uses the MS .net "initiative" for own software products in a mixed environment. However, if software updates and distribution for any kind of linux product will _depend_ on mono or any other linux implementation of .net, people like me (former MD of Gartner Group) will help kill Novell Linux in marketplace. And very efficiently, believe me. But there is no need to get emotional here since Novell people are smart enough to exclude this risk, I am sure. ;-) FMF
