| Appliances big opportunity for Linux, Novell says |
|---|
Software appliances are applications that come prepackaged with an operating system on, for example, a virtual machine or a USB stick. For the IT department they hold the promise of simplifying deployment by getting rid of the installation process, which is not only difficult, but also quite error prone, according to Nat Friedman, chief technology and strategy officer for Linux at Novell, who spoke at VMworld in a session entitled "The Future of Linux is Software Appliances" on Wednesday.
