whitepaper Novell Case Study: Whitfield School2006-04-13 04:11:17
  Founded in 1952, Whitfield School is located in west St. Louis, Missouri. The school wanted to provide its students with access to laptop computers in each classroom so they could immediately research their questions and interests while in class, but required a sustainable solution that was reliable and cost-effective to manage. Managing student laptops requires a secure and stable operating system to protect against viruses, adware and spyware. They evaluated Microsoft Windows, Red Hat and Mandrake before selecting SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Novell Linux Desktop. The school has experienced zero downtime with its SUSE Linux servers and has significantly better security against viruses and other potential vulnerabilities such as spyware and adware.   
whitepaper Novell Case Study: Swiss Federal Supreme Court2006-04-25 02:34:26
  Switzerland is a federal state composed of 26 cantons, each of which has its own local judiciary organization. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court needed to enable the exchange of authenticated electronic documents, such as forms and statements of case, between lawyers and the courts.

The broad challenge was to create a solution that would ensure data security, and that would enable the courts to treat electronic submissions in the same way as physical submissions. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court selected Cambridge Technology Partners, a Novell business, to create the user interface for the document exchange solution.
