Novell drops the ball again

Posted by David Morton Fri, 09 Mar 2007 23:19:00 GMT

I just found out that Novell discontinued support for the Suse 9.x line of Linux servers, and as such has not provided any update patch for the upcoming Daylight Savings Time change.

As such, several servers that I installed Maia on over the last few years will not update their time correctly. Other than showing an incorrect time in the Maia interface and an incorrect time in the logs, I do not expect any serious problems.

At this point, due to this and the recent deal Novell made with Suse, I am no longer willing to support Novell. I plan to start upgrading systems to Ubuntu wherever possible.
