Todd Chipman, an analyst with research company, Giga Information
Group, said NDS for Linux is a solution looking for a problem, as
it solves large-scale user administration while there are still no
large-scale Linux deployments.
Chipman added: “It just seems to me like Novell has to strike up
a deal like this because the company doesn’t want to miss the Linux
boat – if by some chance it does take off.”
