rights, privileges, and controls when attached to Exchange as a Windows e-mail client.
With it, Linux desktop users can manage their e-mail, calendars, group schedules, address books, public folders, and tasks in Exchange. Ximian is the
company that Novell bought in August; Ximian has worked on the Gnome desktop GUI for Linux and the acquisition underlined a strategic switch to Linux

At the time Novell made a huge commitment to Linux, shifting all of its leading revenue earners (such as Groupwise and eDirectory) onto Linux. The
company is making a strategy of surrounding Windows environments with Linux-based options.
