Freedom isn’t free

We must never forget that freedom has a cost. Stop and think about for a moment those who have sacrificed to bring about or help maintain the freedom that we enjoy everyday.

West Michigan Novell Users Group – The Big EveNt 2008

I’m late mentioning this, but the West Michigan Novell Users Group is hosting The Big EveNt 2008. This local users group doesn’t seem to get much attention outside of it’s normal circle. Then again, Novell certainly doesn’t advertise like it’s competitors do either.

• Date: May 19 – 20
• Location: Prince Conference Center, Calvin College
• Presenters: John Delks, VP of Sales for WorkGroup Americas

Needless to say, I’ll be looking at the Suse server and desktop products more closely. I started out as a “Big Red” fanboy in the nineties, but job changes have moved me away from Netware and the Novell product line for another color of computing and a network infrastructure focus. I ran Opensuse on my desktop for years as a network admin/engineer in a primarily Windows shop and used Windows XP in a VMWare VM when it was absolutely necessary to run Windows. The Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop is polished, but my Ubuntu desktop is heavily customized and works for me. I’ll write some more after spending some time with the Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED).
