The Future of Linux

Overview

Linux is experiencing unprecedented growth in the enterprise, not only on servers and in data centers, but also on corporate desktops. Today, the enterprise Linux vendor must deliver everything from enterprise-ready distributions to focused, appliance-like distributions that optimize the use of customers' favorite applications. And Linux vendors like Novell have answered the challenge, transforming Linux into a highly scalable, enterprise-caliber product that meets the demands of infrastructure services, workgroup computing and even mission-critical environments that previously relied upon proprietary operating systems. A global ecosystem - technical support, consulting expertise and training - is now also part of the value proposition.
