Classy Posted Apr 19, 2003 17:57 UTC (Sat) by rheggs (guest, #4737) [Link] +1.Novell has become embroiled in misunderstandings with one or two FOSS communities and individuals in the past and as a result, rightly or wrongly, has been regarded with some suspicion by those communities and individuals. With this simple and honest apology from the CEO, I think Novell has taken a large and significant step towards mending bridges. Time will judge their sincerity and commitment, of course, but I for one feel that their apparent move towards Linux is genuine. And exciting :) My current employer has a large Netware installation, and is also interested in Linux and FOSS in general (so far, we've successfully rolled out one very large and two small Linux solutions within the organisation). If Novell bring their directory services to Linux it will go a long way towards ensuring that MS Active Directory never takes root in our network (well, apart from the Citrix farm, but we don't like to talk about that :) Well done, Novell. I will be watching with interest to see what happens next. Rich.
