Novell marries SuSE to Ximian desktop [0]
By John Leyden
Posted: 07/01/2004 at 17:01 GMT
Novell's latest version of its enterprise Linux desktop,
Ximian Desktop 2, now supports SuSE LINUX Desktop and
SuSE LINUX 9.
Availability of the technology comes after Novell's
November 2003 acquisition of SuSE Linux and its August
2003 swoop on Ximian. The combined resources of the two
companies are central to Novell's plans to transform
itself into a Linux powerhouse.
The update to Ximian Desktop includes the Ximian Edition
of OpenOffice.org 1.1, a GAIM instant messenger client
and updated Ximian Red Carpet 2.0 configuration
management client software. Ximian Desktop 2 also
includes a Mozilla-based Web browser and an
email/personal information client called
Ximian
Evolution.
Novell's Ximian Desktop 2 is available for free download
from here [1]. The professional edition of Ximian Desktop
2, which includes technical support, automated software
updates, Java support, and various other bells and
whistles is available for purchase from Ximian's store
here [2]. The professional edition costs from $99 and up,
depending on support options.
