Novell Linux Desktop Released 183

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday November 08, 2004 @09:50AM from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

KingDaveRa writes "Novell have just released Novell Linux Desktop. Its based on SuSE Linux, but is cut down quite a bit to just include essential apps - perfect for a corporate environment. Novell claim to not be going directly after Windows, but rather pushing this as legacy Unix users. The Register has a take on this too."
