Nat Friedman on Novell's Linux Strategy (Open for Business)
Open for Business talks
with Nat Friedman, VP of Novell's Linux Technologies Group. "One
thing that has caused endless debate on the part of both users and pundits
is exactly what Novell is up to purchasing the two companies that are the
best known backers of the rival GNOME and KDE desktops, Ximian and SUSE,
respectively. Many have wondered if perhaps Novell had second thoughts
about GNOME after buying Ximian and thus moved on to SuSE to remedy the
situation. Friedman does not see the conflicting desktop alliances as an
issue. "Enterprises don't care about GNOME and KDE. They care about having
a desktop environment that's stable, low-cost to administer, secure,
interoperable with their existing network services, and flexible," he told
OfB."
