LinuxPlanet brings us all the Novell Zenworks coverage we could ask for.
Novell's recently released ZenWorks 7 adds some major new Linux functionality--but a long-term product redesign is also under way, and the first overhaul of Novell's multiplatform systems administration package could hit the streets as early as next year.
Taken as a whole, ZenWorks 7 brings new support for Linux-based administration of Windows desktops through its Desktop Management component, and for Linux-based administration of Linux servers and desktops through its Linux Management component.
"ZenWorks 7 is a revolutionary product," maintained Martin Buckley, director of product management, during an interview with LinuxPlanet last week.
Buckley predicted that the package will prove useful both to long-term Linux administrators and to Windows administrators who are just getting started with Linux.
"It doesn't require re-training (for Linux), because it has a very intuitive Web interface," Buckley told LinuxPlanet.
"But at the same time, we have very deep command line interfaces for all these guys who already know how to use Linux."
