Novell Open Enterprise Server, which was originally scheduled for
release by the end of 2004, is a package that includes SuSE Enterprise
Linux 9 as well as a copy of NetWare, Novell's operating system, which
it has been developing since the 1980s.

The release is designed to capture existing NetWare customers
considering a move to Linux or those who, over the past few years,
dropped NetWare in favor of Microsoft's Windows, said Charlie Ungashick,
director of product management and marketing for Novell's servers and
desktops.

Novell is making network administration tools that have been available
on NetWare--such as security and a directory--run on Linux. It is
providing a single management console for both servers. Novell will also
ease administration by better integrating with other open-source
packages for file sharing and printing with both operating systems,
Ungashick said.
