Novell to Make Linux Robust and Reliable 380
An anonymous coward writes: "It seems the folks over at Novell have the answer to making the "immature" Linux OS more "robust, reliable and scaleable" according to this Computer Weekly article. We have a lot more problems to use and keep running our NetWare 5 and 6 servers at our University than we've ever had with any of our Linux servers. I can't wait for Novell to help us out here."
They misread the quote (Score:5, Funny)
Novell actually said they'd make Linux "go bust, disabled and scaley".

I thought IBM had already made linux more robust, reliable and scaleable, by stealing code from SCO.

It used to be that Netware was the only way to go if you were serious about file serving, but it seems like Novell has failed to keep up.
They went from software that logged 2.5 years of uptime to software that crashes several times a day and you say they've failed to keep up? I think you're out of touch with the marketplace!

Pretty keen of Novell to jump in and "make" Linux what it already is.
And then there's SCO and Caldera (Score:3, Funny)
So who is doing the suing, who is doing the developing? Is Novell now going to help the enemy of their friend, or the friend of their enemy, I am confused.
And what happened to that guy, Ray Noorda was it? who used to own pieces of some of them, and was suing Microsoft for discriminating against DR DOS, that's right, Digital Research was involved in this, and they were the ones who IBM first approached for the OS for their brand new PC, but they ended up with MS instead, short for ME$$, which pretty much describes this whole thing.
Can someone help me out here? Is Microsoft actually involved here? Who should I be rooting for and against?

Sad thing is, I made the mistake of putting Banyan on my resume, and now I actually get calls for it:
Recruiter: "Says here you're an experienced Banyan admin..."
Me: "Yup."
Recruiter: "So do you work with Banyan full-time?"
Me: "No. Mostly I point at it and laugh."
Recruiter: "So you aren't interested in the only Baynan job I've run across in 10 years of recruiting? Pay is... uh, you'd get paid!"
Me: "Not unless I get paid to point and laugh."
Recruiter: "So what is Banyan, anyway?"
I took it off after about the fourth call I got like that, but I still get some desperate bastard calling me about every three months.
