Novell eyes lean, mean Linux (Register)
The Register reports
that Novell plans to release a slimmed-down version SUSE Linux.
"SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional, the latest version of the desktop OS,
comes with 3,000 packages and seven web browsers, according to
Novell. Steve Brown, Novell's European VP, said there was a danger of the
OS becoming too "top heavy". In response, Novell is working a version of
SuSE Linux occupying a smaller footprint and supporting only one Web
browser. This approach would make it easier to roll out standardised Linux
deployments across an enterprise. With a simpler, less diverse set-up
companies would benefit from a lower variety of support questions, or so
the idea goes."
