Novell maintains SuSE drive

摘要

While many customers have tentatively embraced Novell Inc's latest foray into the world of open source, the company still faces stiff challenges in trying to persuade NetWare customers to choose SuSE Linux over Windows or Red Hat Inc.'s Red Hat Linux. To ease such a transition to SuSE Linux, the Waltham, Mass., company earlier this month released its OES (Open Enterprise Server), which places NetWare services on top of the NetWare or SuSE Linux Enterprise Edition kernel. Novell CEO and Chairman Jack Messman said at the company's Brain-Share event here last week that a key to Novell's success will be its ability to migrate those NetWare customers to Linux.
