Novell and Linux

[mike neuliep]

Mike's thoughts on Novell:

	-- Kick Ass product (had a 3.12 server with 3.9 year uptime)			-- Poor 
marketing (that's why it was later replaced with w2k)

Mike's predictions of Novell:

	-- Will continue to make kick ass products
	-- will continue to poorly market products

Only concern here is now we have Linux, which is just as stable as Novell
_AND_ it is open source.  That's why Novell MUST make an acquisition like this.
If they're smart they'll integrate all the spiffy novell features into SuSE
and drop the novell line, or better yet, simply merge the products together.
Since the novell 4 days, all their NLMs had pretty much been developed under
linux anyway so that'd be the next logical step.
