It’s time for LinuxWorld again.
ZENworks Linux Management has done well in the last year or so – winning a Product Excellence Award for systems management at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, August 2004 and again in Boston, February 2005
The challenge is how ZENworks 7 Linux Management fares this time – we are again shortlisted for an award.
ZENworks 7 Linux Management is a really innovative product – it will be good to see reaction from potential customers at the show.
The Novell engineering teams in Provo, Cambridge and Bangalore really made this a groundbreaking product – adding OS deployment, policy management, inventory and remote control to the already strong software and patch distribution capabilities.

Great customer quote about ZENworks Linux Management:
Chisholm said with SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 OPSM can apply security-related upgrades from a central point, with full control and reporting.
“Within this more secure and up-to-date environment we can better ensure the integrity of our business information and transactions,” he said. “Due to our large number of store locations we also needed a system that could be centrally managed and monitored. Novell’s Zenworks Linux Management offers greater control as it will enable us to update our operating systems and applications from one central point with fewer interruptions to users. We’ll also be able to support an increasing number of stores without increasing our IT staff numbers.”

Spread Firefox.
I predict that within the next two-three years this open-source marketing campaign will be used as a case study for anybody looking at marketing within high technology.
From modest beginings, through to the release of Firefox 1.0, the double page ad in the New York Times, to over 70 million downloads – this is perhaps a never to be repeated phenomenon.

There’s a nice post from Ben Goodger (lead Firefox developer) on enterprise deployment of the browser. Most of the comments are Windows specific – but it’s good stuff.
One of the things I’ll try and find time to do is take this great data and make it ZENworks relevent. If someone has more time feel free to post it to Cool Solutions!
I’ll also look at how this data can be used with ZENworks 7 Linux Management; deployment of the browser and then locking it down.

Alpha 2 of Deer Park is available – announcement in the Mozilla dev forums.
Install is clean and easy on NLD – settings, preferences, saves passwords and cookies – everything brought over correctly.
Browsing is fast – this is very noticable; especially compared to Firefox 1.0.x.

I posted a while ago on getting ZLM 6.6.1 to work with Oracle. Just some additional clarification in the docs.
Oracle database support is limited to the following configuration:
* An Oracle 9i database running on any platform supported by the Oracle database.
* A TCP listener running on your Oracle 9i database, which can be contacted by your client using onames or tnsnames.
* ZENworks Linux Management installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Advanced Server.
* The Oracle 9i client libraries installed on your ZENworks Linux Management server. The recommended Oracle client is Oracle 9i client, Release 2.
We recommend working with your Oracle database administrator for database installation, management, and other Oracle-related issues.
Oracle 10g support on SLES will be part of ZLM 7 SP1.
