Novell's GroupWise gets a lift from a third party.
Privacy Networks' enterprise-level email archiving solution adds GroupWise to its current offerings for Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino
Here is what's potentially an old press release (i.e. reposted), but maybe it's just reminiscent of a previous one about ArcMail and GroupWise:
ArcMail Technology, a leading provider of email archiving technology, today announced the release of the new ArcMail Defender for GroupWise. The network appliance combines archiving and data compression technology with on-board storage for a comprehensive GroupWise email archiving solution. ArcMail Defender for GroupWise provides seamless compatibility with the GroupWise email protocol through an ArcMail software gateway that is installed on a company's Windows server.
Novell today announced it has been positioned in the leaders quadrant of Gartner, Inc.'s, "Magic Quadrant for Web Access Management, 2H07" by Ray Wagner and Earl Perkins, Oct. 29, 2007. Novell Access Manager(TM), the company's Web access management solution, protects both Web and enterprise applications and helps organizations enhance user productivity, streamline administration, increase security and ensure compliance.
The following seems like old news (from LinuxWorld, circa August when Dell made the big announcement). It's back in the press and Novell makes some noise about it (with a photo even).
The slow, toe-in-the-water approach by PC makers to the Linux desktop continued on Wednesday, with Dell and Novell formalizing a deal to ship Dell OptiPlex 330 and 755 desktops preloaded with Novell's SLED 10, to commercial accounts in China.
Presently, Novell generates most of its revenue from the server market as Microsoft's Windows system still holds the lion's share of the desktop segment.

The nation's Linux market is projected to grow fivefold from 2006 to 2010 to $51.1 million, according to a report by IT researcher IDC.
Novell's NetWare finds a place in the NHS, but I suspect we've seen this before. Anyway, here is the article.
Giant steps are what you take, to mis-quote Sting, when you're Moonwalking. The Luton and Dunstable Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the L&D), in Luton, UK, has deployed Moonwalk software as an information management scheme for its Novell Netware environment.
And since Microsoft's software contains back doors, only a fool would allow any part of SSH on Microsoft's environments, which should be presumed compromised
IBM is not growing and its revenue is just "borrowed" from companies it is buying; a lot of this revenue gets spent paying the interest on considerable debt
