Virtually

NOVELL has released Netware as an entirely Linux operation.

Open Enterprise Server 2 which was released yesterday has the NetWare operating system kernel, Netware 6.5 SP7, running on top of the Xen hypervisor.

According to Linux Watch, this makes it possible to run Netware services, or a para-virtualised instance of Netware, on top of Xen with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP 1 kernel.

NetWare tools such as Consoleone, Imanager and Novell Remote Manager are still there too, along with shedloads of Linux management utilities and terminal programs.

The new OES has Shadow Volumes which is a new technology that uses customer-defined policies to recognise old and new data and stuff it somewhere appropriate. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
