Novell 'puts entire ecosystem behind Linux' (Register)

The Register reports from Novell's Brainshare conference in Barcelona. "Driving the adoption of Linux in the enterprise is central to its plans to return to profit while reaffirming its commitment to maintain support for its own NetWare operating system, the company says. Jack Messman, chairman and chief executive of Novell, (repeatedly) told delegates "we are not abandoning NetWare, we are adding Linux. It's all about choice for the customer.""

Novell also announced a partnership with MySQL AB that bundles a commercially-licensed version of the MySQL(R) database with Novell NetWare 6.5.
