Novell Unwraps Suse Linux 9.3
Novell has released a new version of Suse Linux Professional at Cebit, with the 2.611 kernel version, 2.0 version of the OpenOffice.org productivity suite and Firefox 1.0 browser. It is hoping to appeal to as broad a technical audience as possible.
Source: TechWorldVersion 9.3, expected to be available by mid-April, contains about 1,000 open source applications aimed at more technical users in both the business and home markets. It also contains previews of upcoming Linux-based server technologies including the XEN virtualization environment and a more intuitive search engine, according to company officials.
"I think we have gained a strong following among new Linux users and technical enthusiasts who want access to the latest enhancements to Linux. But we are also providing corporate Linux users a preview of the technologies in Novell's future enterprise Linux as a means of growing their skills to remain competitive in the IT market," said Markus Rex, VP in charge of Suse Linux at Novell.
