BrainStormer UK Internet Café
The BrainStormer UK Internet café, sponsored by Blueloop, HP and Omni, provided an opportunity for BrainStormer attendees to experience SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and Omni's Linux Desktop Multiplier.
The system just rocked! We powered 12 independent "desktops" – consisting of only a monitor, keyboard and mouse – on two HP P4 3.0 Ghz computers with 4 GB of RAM each. A "Multiplied" SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop system 10 outperforms thin clients and Blade servers at a fraction of the cost.

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 'Multiplied'
Novell's new SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 operating system presents a compelling alternative to Windows XP and Windows Vista for corporate, education, government and healthcare environments.
