“Novell’s SUSE Manager 1.2 provides users of the company’s
enterprise-oriented Linux-based operating systems with a
server-management tool built from the ground up with Linux in mind.
SUSE Manager, which began shipping in March, is based on Spacewalk
1.3, an open-source project born out of Red Hat’s own
server-management product, Satellite, whose code Red Hat freed in
2008.“Administrators familiar with Satellite, and its hosted
counterpart, the RHN (Red Hat Network), will feel right at home
with SUSE Manager, and Novell has also worked to make systems
running RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) at home within SUSE
Manager.”
