Novell has unveiled a SUSE Linux Enterprise training
course contained on a portable USB drive, which it says is an
industry first.
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 First Class course gives users a
first look at the upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, including both
the new server and desktop products.
Novell said the initiative gave customers a flexible,
cost-effective option for learning about Novell's new platform.
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 First Class course comes on a USB
device complete with the learning content and an installed version
of the beta SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Desktop 10 on a
virtual machine.
The USB device will run on both Windows and Linux, giving
students complete flexibility in how, and where, to study, said
Novell.
“Putting the complete initial training course on a USB drive is
an industry first,” said Daniel Veitkus, vice president for
training services at Novell.
“Students can simply plug this into their computer and, via a
virtualised machine experience, gain quick hands-on experience on
the new platform,” he said.
The USB kit, costing $199 (£115), is available from Novell at
