(InfoWorld) - European car manufacturing giant PSA Peugeot CitroÃ«n has agreed to one of the Continent's largest-ever deployments of open-source Linux software on desktop computers. As part of a multiyear contract with Novell, the French company will install Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop on up to 20,000 computers in addition to 2,500 servers, the U.S. software vendor said Tuesday. The announcement comes on the same day thatÂ Microsoft's new Vista operating system and Office 2007 software suite become commercially available for consumers. Charles King, principle analyst with Pund-IT, a technology research firm, referred to the size of the Novell contract with Peugeot CitroÃ«n as "significant" and the timing of the announcement as "very interesting." "The migration to Vista will require a significant hardware upgrade," King said. "The costs associated with this upgrade will open the door for companies to consider alternatives." Officials from Peugeot CitroÃ«n were unavailable for comment, but Novell said in a statement, quoting an IT representative from the French company, that support for Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop and the user-friendly design of the software were key factors in the selection process. The opportunity to lower IT costs through open-source software almost certainly had to be another factor, King said. Novell provided no financial details of the contract. With Vista and Office being powerful IT tools, King believes that many companies will start asking themselves what sort of functionality their employees need on their desktop computers and, equally important, what they are willing to pay for this functionality. With Vista and Office 2007, King warned, some companies could be purchasing way more functionality then they need. "Let me put it this way: Do you need a Ferrari to go to the neighborhood shopping store when a mini-van will do?" he said.

Wake up little SUSE, Wake up.  No, that's not good enough.  Wake up SUSE customers, wake up.  Novell is jeopardizing the future of Linux for its own short-term rewards. If you want to see Linux flourish, let alone survive after Novell's five year deal with Microsoft expires, I suggest we make an alternative five year deal with Microsoft. In this case, our part of the deal is to spend the next five minutes, months, or years migrating away from every shred of Novell/SUSE software in our home, office, or enterprise.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft has appointed an executive to lead its controversial efforts to make its software more interoperable with Novell's Suse Linux. The company has named Tom Hanrahan to the new position of director of Linux interoperability, reporting to Sam Ramji, director of platform technology strategy. Ramji runs the Microsoft Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Washington, where Microsoft tests its products to see how they interact with Linux and other open-source software. Hanrahan's duties will include running the new Microsoft/Novell Interoperability Lab,Â announced in November when the two companies formed a patent-licensing and interoperability deal. The deal will, in part, ensure Novell's Suse Linux works better with Windows in environments where the two OSes co-exist. Experts from both companies will work in the Microsoft/Novell Interoperability Lab to test and build interoperable offerings. As part of their deal, Microsoft and Novell also are co-marketing each other's technology, and Microsoft is offering Suse Linux maintenance and support coupons to customers who want to run the OS in their IT environments. But Microsoft's ability to do the latter could be threatened by the passage of the GNU GPLv3 (General Public License Version 3) in light of bold claims by the vendor thatÂ it will seek damages for 235 of its patentsÂ it says both Linux and other open-source software violate. A provision of GPLv3 provides patent protection for anyone receiving software, such as Linux, distributed by the license. Microsoft executives also have used the Novell deal as the blueprint for how it wants companies violating its patents to pay for them, while Novell insists to this day its Linux distribution does not infringe on any Microsoft patents. Prior to joining Microsoft, Hanrahan was director of engineering at the Linux Foundation. He also has served as senior program manager in charge of software development and testing at IBM's Linux Technology Center in Oregon. Before that, he spent 11 years at Sequent Computer Systems and several years working for Intel.ADVERTISEMENTIBM Information On Demand 2006Industrial Industry Leaders, please join us at IBM's premier information management global event, IBM Information On Demand 2006, October 15-20, Anaheim, CA.
