Hello Frndz,
Novell is all set to kick start its event called Novell Linux Day across multiple cities in India.
The event, which is expected to cater to a mixed crowd of business decision makers, IT managers, customers and partners, will be held in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi on 31st August, 2nd September and 3rd September respectively.
According to the company, the conference will feature keynotes from Jeurgen Geck chief technology officer, SuSE Linux, and other leaders from the industry. It would also feature technical solution sessions by Paul Kangro and Niel Marquardt both from Novell Asia Pacific.
Additionally, the event would also serve as the launch pad of Novells SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0, featuring the 2.6 Linux kernel and other performance enhancements. The solution is designed to handle corporate workgroup and data center requirements.

Evening all,
We seem to have garnered a lot of support from Novell Employees. Having said that does anyone know how much does SLES cost and how is the applications support it offers any better/worse than the application list from RHEL.
SuSE always has had this tight integration which RH lacked. For commercial Enterprise applications it surely would be great to know if SLES really has got the stuff to pluck the pie from RH india and int.
The drama of watching the minions at RH pull up their socks before they loose a battle on the india front would surely be an entertaining one.
Gnu/Linux surely needs some piece of *aktion* too...:D.

Current trends suggest that Novell is strongly committed to promoting SuSE and Linux based services in the enterprise.
SLES 9 is the first linux kernel 2.6.x bases enterprise solution. pricing no clue but has some really cool solutions for the developers. yast is absolutely killer. i remember a windows admin saying " god wish windows also had this "
SuSE always has had this tight integration which RH lacked. For commercial Enterprise applications it surely would be great to know if SLES really has got the stuff to pluck the pie from RH india and int.
YaST has tightly integrated most of the admin stuff ... its been heard that IBM is gonna have a YaST module for DB2 install and admin.
The drama of watching the minions at RH pull up their socks before they loose a battle on the india front would surely be an entertaining one.
the best part is gonna be the fact that since big cos will spend good amount of effort on marketing / positioning / support and development FLOSS will scale new heights
we are sure RH is not gonna keep quiet :)
My few cents Harsh
Gnu/Linux surely needs some piece of *aktion* too...:D.

This module is available, I have used this to install DB2 8.1 on SLES9. No dependencies on Java, as simple as just 3 clicks on next and you have installed DB2 (Probably it cant get simpler). Ofcourse you have to set 3 passwords. I have also seen a Oracle installer, not sure how advanced it is. There is extensive documentation available which can be used to develop YaST modules, it is simple to do so, unfortunately there is a ycp language for this, hunting to develop some sample modules presently. Will write an article for all once I am successful.
