That is interesting. I wonder if he didn't share Messman's "vision" or if
he did and the board wanted another bean counter in his place and Messman
is on the way out.

Juergen Geck has been with SUSE for almost 10 years and has been CTO of
SUSE, not Novell!

Okay, I didn't realize there was a difference. Thanks!

I didn't realize they were in Mass. I thought Novell was in Provo Utah.

Waltham was the HQ of Cambridge Technology Partners, the consulting company
Novell bought years ago and Jack Messman was CTPs CEO. So when Jack became
CEO of Novell, Waltham became the Novell HQ.

Oh, okay. Interesting turn of events.

Of course, being that the company came out with that dreadful NetWare 4.0
downgrade from 3.12, I had given up on Novell about ten years ago. It is only
since they acquired SuSE/SUSE that I've been paying attention to them again.
