This week hopefully. We are fixing all of the bugs that have been reported by the first group of beta testers.

Stay tuned!

When are you releasing Mono for Visual Studio to broader community? I'd like to try it but no invitation yet....

Very nice piece of work.

Re. "we are going to make it very easy for Windows developers to bring their applications to Linux":
Is this limited to C# apps translated to Mono or any Windows apps?
Also, to any Linux or mainly SUSE?
Thanks

Right, everyone uses those.

What you can not do is relicense the result to third parties. As a software developer or ISV, you can not package Microsoft Windows plus your software and redistribute it.

I recommend reading Nat's blog for more details.

All the neat VS plugins are pretty awesome, though. =)

Uh. Windows has these tools, generally available. No web interface, but that seems a bit not that useful to me.

http://www.microsoft.com/do...

Windows Automated Installation Kit. Basically you install a Vista system, in a VM, customize it to your hearts content, then hit a button which turns it into an image. You can then build that image into a DVD, or place it on Windows Deployment Services (PXE install software.)

You can also customize the pre-boot environment (LiveCD).

That's all new Vista stuff... we've had similar since Windows NT. Called sysprep.

Anyways, these are the tools any company in the know uses to deploy standard desktops across the organization. It's all free, and not THAT hard to use. I've been using it in small companies for years. Makes reformatting a machine easy: PXE boot and it rebuilds.

After 45 years in the IT business, this is the most groundbreaking capability I have seen in a long time. The possibilities are endless for custom appliances in consulting work, home use, portables, single function appliances that run in remote sites on battery and photocell (such as floating channel markers for water navigation).

WOW!

Correct.

Take it out for a spin, you will have your appliance setup in 10 minutes.

Im still a wee bit confused after reading website + blogs

So basically this makes a virtual machine image with everything it needs to run some application?

Great Stuff. People comparing it to Jumpbox are missing the big picture of Novell being both a OS and Enterprise Solutions vendor. Plus also producing lots of software tech all around.
