First-Ever Public Comparative Demonstration.”
“Network World, Inc., the official Flagship Sponsor of ComNet
2000 Expo in Washington D.C., today announced that Microsoft, Red
Hat, Novell, Santa Cruz Operation, and IBM will square off at the
Network Operating Systems (NOS) Showdown Debate, and, for the
first time Microsoft, Red Hat, Novell and Santa Cruz Operation will
go head-to-head at the NOS Showdown Lab. Both events will take
place at ComNet from January 25-27, 2000 at the Washington D.C.
Convention Center and Renaissance Hotel.”
“Network World and Centennial Networking Lab (CNL) of North
Carolina State University, Network World’s test alliance partner,
are offering a first-ever hands-on comparative look at Microsoft’s
Windows 2000, Red Hat Linux 6.1, Novell NetWare 5.1, and Santa Cruz
Operation’s UnixWare 7.1.1. All ComNet show attendees will be able
to get a customized view of how these Network Operating Systems
stack up against each other in Network’s World Showdown Lab. The
lab will run continuously during show hours in the main lobby of
Washinton D.C.’s Renaissance Hotel. In addition, attendees will be
able to pick the brains of the engineers from CNL that conducted
this first public comparative review between Windows 2000 and its
competition in the NOS arena. The results of this review will also
be published in the January 24th issue of Network World and posted
on the Network World Fusion website…”
