Looks like Novell is planning to update something in the kit. Wonder what they plan to update.
QuoteAs you may have noticed, there has been a slight delay in your Novell Linux Technical Resource DVD kit shipment. We had a phenomenal response to this free offer, and have had to adjust production to meet this demand.
In an effort to provide you with the most current Linux software from Novell, and to accommodate the release of a new, yet-to-be-announced Linux product, the decision was made to delay shipment on some of the more recent Linux Technical Resource Kit orders.
As a result, your kit will ship during the last week of July * with the latest Linux software from Novell. We will notify you again as soon as your order is mailed.
We appreciate your patience, and are confident you will find the Novell Linux Resource Kit a comprehensive tool to evaluate the Linux offerings from Novell.
Sincerely,
Novell Customer Communities
Yeah I got the same message, it will be interesting to see what they update. Maybe they had a much larger response then they really wanted, much less anticipated!
FYI, for those of you who signed up for this initially, Novell has an update. Some people got emails on it, but I had to manually go to the site and verify my initial signup.
They send you an update to the kit with the following:
- ISO images for Live SUSE™ LINUX Professional 9.3
- VMWare HOT Lab for Novell Open Enterprise Server
- VMWare Hot Lab for Novell Identity Manager on Novell Open Enterprise Server.
Thanks for the update Taz!
