Malaysia’s making waves

Novell is in a rapid Linux channels drive, where becoming a certified engineer is now a very official thing. The article does show some insight as to where they’re trying to make inroads, so much so a fairly reputable company, ByteCraft advances with Linux (basically, new carriers of Novell/SuSe solutions).

Everyone’s Linux, while a company based in India, is funded by MAVCAP, so there’s plenty of Malaysian interest there. Local company, Kitech has a support site even. Its definitely a Red Hat based distribution, probably RH8/9 styled.

LinuxWorld Conference & Expo 2004: Malaysia is on as well. Some of the tracks look interesting, and from reports, it’s been very largely focused on Linux in the enterprise. IBM and Novell are the main contenders, a missing RH, even though focus is on enterprises.

When will a bunch of Malaysian students start an Ignalum? I’m all ears, so do use the comment form or write me some e-mail.
