Microsoft will support customers who choose to run Linux with Microsoft's Virtual Server 2005 R2, which allows multiple operating systems to be run on one machine.
The Fedora Project has updated the 'beta' or testing edition of version 10 of its Linux distribution, which is scheduled to be completed and released to the public on 25 November.
The man who led Linux seller Red Hat from a newly public but largely unproven open source company to a force to be reckoned with is giving his office to an executive largely unknown in the software industry.
The downtime experienced by Windows Server 2003 increased 25 percent to nine hours per server per year, while the reliability of mainstream server-based Linux distributions improved significantly, according to a Yankee Group survey.
Novell has released the first service pack (SP1) for its Suse Linux Enterprise 10 server software, which promises better virtualisation and high performance support along with improved security.
Speaking to the Novell boss at his company's annual BrainShare user conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, ZDNet.com.au's sister site, ZDNet.co.uk asked whether the Microsoft deal could actually be damaging in the long run and what effect a financial downturn could have on Novell's recent recovery.
Red Hat has released the first version of its hobbyist edition of Linux, a company executive said, as the software seller tries to improve profitability by splitting its product line.
Has Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) finally come of age with its latest release and will enterprises in Australia start taking Red Hat seriously?
CEO Jack Messman says Novell used to have trouble getting noticed. A little penguin changed all that. Meanwhile, he maps out how the company is gaining on Red Hat.
Marketing director Paul Salazar admits there have been plenty of hiccups along the way but says Red Hat is now working hard to please the open-source community and investors alike.
Production-quality XenSource virtualisation is the main selling point here, with optional clustering and storage virtualisation to go with it. But there's a lot more besides, making the new Red Hat Enterprise Linux a compelling solution for businesses of all sizes.
Red Hat and Sun Microsystems are gearing up to sell Linux for desktop computers, the companies' chief executives said Tuesday.
SuSE plans to announce in January an effort to bring the open-source Linux operating system to desktop computers, an attack on Microsoft that will be bolder than similar initiatives from Red Hat and Sun Microsystems.
The next version of the heart of the Linux operating system is expected by June, according to project founder Linus Torvalds.
Businesses that need to support a reasonable number (>10) of Linux PCs may find that Red Hat Desktop 4 delivers an attractive total cost of ownership (TCO).
