Red Hat exec leery of Novell Linux effort
A call by Novell's CEO for a standardized way to certify Linux applications Wednesday was subsequently greeted with skepticism by a high-ranking official at rival Linux distributor Red Hat.
During a morning keynote at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Novell President and CEO Ron Hovsepian said Novell was working with industry players on a plan to streamline certification of Linux applications. Red Hat's Michael Evans, vice president of corporate development at the company, said afterward that liked the idea. But he expressed doubts about the effort since Hovsepian was involved.
"Personally, that he's the guy that did the deal with Microsoft, I'm suspicious of things he says," Evans said.
Evans was referring to an agreement forged between the companies in which the vendors agreed not to sue each other's customers over any intellectual property infringement issues.
