A busy day. I will post photos later today!
Sunrise:
Up early for a final run through of the keynote. All went well – I co-presented with Alan Murray; we covered ZENworks 7, ZENworks 7 Linux Management and ZENworks 7 Asset Management. Everything worked well – and we were exactly within our time allocation.
More sessions this afternoon – TUT 217 – ZENworks Architecture overview and future, TUT 223 – Managing NLD with ZLM and finally TUT 317 – ZENworks Linux Management best practices.

I blogged from BrainShare in SLC about building a keynote demo.
The keynote we build for BrainShare in March was based on pre-release code; an early beta of ZENworks 7 Linux Management and a hastily rebranded early look at ZENworks Asset Management.
Things are a lot easier this time – we now have shipping product to demo with – and I am using the fantastic integrated demo system from Doc Hodges. I’ve got a few good workstations and VMware images.
I’ll take some more screen shots and share them online.

I knew I had this from several people last year – but I refound the article browsing snorps blog.
Matthew Szulik, Red Hat CEO talking to Computing in the UK – http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/analysis/2075934/putting-linux-desktop
Why Red Hat versus Novell-SuSE or Sun JDS on the desktop?
They’re all proprietary except us. They all have proprietary technology inside, not 100 per cent open source software. They continue to lock customers in to limit choice.
If you buy the Sun desktop, you’re going to buy into the proprietary Sun architecture. With SuSE there’s Red Carpet, integrated with other Novell technologies, still proprietary.
As the saying goes:
Matthew Szulik – I hereby request source to the 100% Open Source Red Hat solutions “Red Hat Network Proxy” and “Red Hat Network Satellite”
Here’s waiting.

I keep getting asked about updates to the ZENworks Desktop Imaging engine – specifically driver support and the like.
There is a cool project on the Novell forge site – that hosts new drivers, lots of docs and complete ISOs of the environment. It’s here – http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?zfdimgdrv
Point to note – in ZENworks 7 – we moved to a SLES9 based distro for imaging – so driver support is vastly improved.

I took some screen shots of ZLM7 in action – mainly a look at the ZENworks Control Center

An interesting article here – talking to Bill Hilf about Microsoft researching non-Windows server and desktop products:
Microsoft’s Linux and Open Source Software Lab serves as both a place to examine the threat posed to Microsoft products by open-source offerings and a venue for testing software from Microsoft and others that’s designed to span that divide. The lab is home to hundreds of servers and desktops that run dozens of different types of Linux and Unix.
Hilf has been pretty open about Microsofts investigation of Open Source and non-Windows technologies:
