Novell in the News
Wow, there’ve been a lot of stories about Novell in the past two days!
Let’s see, where to start…. First off, Novell whupped Micro$oft to the tune of $536 Million, according to this press release from the networking giant. Apparently, Novell and Micro$oft agreed to “settle potential antitrust litigation related to Novell’s NetWare operating system in exchange for $536 million in cash.” Hmm, not a bad deal. I wonder what that will do to their stock? What’s even more interesting to me, is that Novell also announced it will file “an antitrust suit against Microsoft in the United States District Court in Utah seeking unspecified damages in connection with alleged harm to Novell’s WordPerfect application software business in the mid-1990s.” More cash? One can only hope.
In other Novell news, my favorite Open Source company has released a “new” Linux desktop. Yes, that’s right, they’ve got a Linux desktop, with the option to purchase support. I guess there really are advantages to living way out in Orem and not having anything else to do during the winter months but think! If you follow that link, by the way, you can download a free trial. I know I will be!
Yea, Novell! You go!
I am downloading it now. about 12 hours have gone by.

Yeah, I downloaded it, too, but I haven’t even had the time to burn the ISOs yet. Looking forward to it, though!

Man:
On vmware and my home clone install , the kernel will not load. I get the progress bar for reading the boot kernel. And I get an error and it over.
Hmmm.
