Novell’s local Linux services battleplan

Novell will begin its local Linux drive with nationwide seminars for partners and customers early next year to educate and train its channel in SuSE
Linux.

Its acquisition of SuSE Linux is expected to be approved by February.

The vendor had plans to stage introductory Linux seminars around this time, Novell’s manager of partner relationships, Steve Martin, said.

“It’ll be one of the biggest things we do next year, if not the biggest,” he said.
