Novell: Suse Linux would take years to become mainstream desktop OS
Novell President and CEO Ronald Hovsepian has be quoted as saying that their desktop offering Suse Linux could take several years before it becomes a mainstream product.
He added: “The market for the desktop for the next three to five years is mainly enterprise-related.”
The company for now is targeting technology enthusiasts and the server market with their products.
Novell offers a free edition of the Suse Linux as openSuse distribution.
He said: “It is a community development strategy, so we get a lot of testing and inputs from the 2 million users of openSuse, which is feedback for our development.”
The company believes that the demand would remain strong from the enterprise market that is moving some of their infrastructure to Linux from Windows platform.
