“Linux version of Internet server on tap for later this
year.”
“Lotus President and Chief Executive Jeff Papows said the
Cambridge, Mass., company will launch a Linux version of its Domino
server by year’s end but will not market a version for Novell
Inc.’s NetWare. Papows made his comments during an exclusive CRN
Enterprise Partner Web chat.
“We’re looking for delivery of Linux-based Domino for around the
end of the year,” said Papows. “Based on the groundswell of
interest, we’re bullish on it.”
… “visionary” is how Ransom Love, president and chief
executive of Orem, Utah-based Linux supplier Caldera Systems Inc.,
described Lotus’ position. “We’ve moved away from [NetWare-based]
LANs to the Internet. Linux will be in millions of devices, from
handhelds to massively parallel servers. NetWare will not be.”
