My friend Ron Tanner really opened the proverbial can of worms when he talked about ‘the single console‘. So far the most commented upon blog entry.
I figured it was time for everyone to comment – and to even get your design hats on.
I’m not going to run the wrath of our developers or UI people – what I’m looking for are fun and interesting concepts about managing ’stuff’. Show us what you want and what works for you.
Get going – I don’t care whether it’s done in The Gimp, Photoshop, Paint or mocked up SYSCON 
Put your comments here on the blog – and mail any attachments to me – ezs@novell.com
I look forward to yor comments and visual treats.

Short one today; Guy Kawasaki wrote on his blog about his experiences in his first 100 days of blogging.
One comment summed up my thoughts on Cool Blogs:
5. An expert who blogs is more interesting than a blogger who experts.
I hope you find Cool Blogs interesting. Let me know – comments are welcomed!

I wrote about LinkedIn just over a year ago. It’s been an interesting tool.
I’m seeing more and more people join – and link with absolutely anyone – without regard for whether they have any personal or business relationship. I’ve always said – I will not connect with people I can’t personally endorse. One good change that LinkedIn made was to stop showing the number of connections members had after 500. This stops the ‘race for the most’ that seems to be prevalent.
I stand by my comment: connections in LinkedIn are about quality not quantity.
This still sits on my profile:
If I do not know you well – please indicate why we should connect.
I do not connect with people I do not know. My rule of thumb – if I do not know you and your work I do not connect. It’s all about QUALITY not QUANTITY.

Have you tried OpenSUSE yet?
Written at: Draper, UT
OpenSUSE – project site at http://opensuse.org – is sponsored by Novell and “promotes the use of Linux everywhere”.
I guess for mere mortals that means on your laptop, home servers, development boxes – anywhere that matters! I know a few people who have given it to family and friends to cut down on the support and virus workload.
There are some interesting innovations coming out of the OpenSUSE community. Take a look at the OpenSUSE build service – demoed at BrainShare just a few weeks ago. Also look at the cutting edge in desktop and laptop usability – anyone who says Linux is a long way from ready for the desktop should seriously look at the massive leaps made in SUSE Linux 10.1 – currently in Beta 9.
And finally to the information that prompted me to write this post: OpenSUSE won the Best of Show award at LinuxWorld Expo last week in Boston – congratulations!

One common question from customers and partners is “What is Novell’s support stance for running Novell products and solutions on VMware”
Written at: Salt Lake City, UT
Here is the official answer in the form of Novell Technical Information Document TID 10098095 – this is directly from Novell Support.
Novell Technical Services (NTS) will provide reasonable best effort troubleshooting support for Novell products in VMware configurations. This support includes both lab and production environments. NTS personnel will assist the customer in troubleshooting the problem and will work to identify any necessary configuration changes, a viable workaround, and/or initiate a defect report. Novell product defects will be handled using existing defect reporting procedures. When necessary, NTS will involve VMware using the TSANet multivendor support process.
Novell Technical Services has established this policy to ensure that Novell customers receive the best possible support when issues arise in environments that include Novell products in VMware configurations.
I’d be interested in your comments – and your experiences – about running Novell products on top of VMware server or Microsoft Virtual Server environments.
