Novell Doctors SUSE for Enterprise, Real Time
,----[ Quote ]
| Justin Steinman, director of marketing for Linux and open platform
| solutions at Novell, said that the new application stack wasn't
| created simply to compete with Red Hat's application stack, launched
| in September. Rather, said Steinman, the idea was hatched over at
| IBM. "We found our reps and IBM's reps were jointly selling this
| solution already. They kept running into each other in the field,"
| said Steinman. Thus, when IBM suggested that Novell should offer its
| customers a version of its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server that
| included WebSphere Community Edition and DB2 Express, the free
| editions of IBM's enterprise app server and database, respectively,
| Novell immediately agreed.
