It seems like they are going end to end (Server to Desktop).  I think that
this is great and will open up some doors for linux.  I know a lot of
Schools use Novell and are pretty loyal to them.  This will give them a good
path to move to a Novell back linux solution.  I think this could mean only
good things for linux and Novell.
