Testing oVirt...

@matteo-nunziati Novell used to be bigger than Microsoft, I was a huge fan of NetWare back in the day. But SuSE is not Novell, and they have been scrapping around for some final dregs of their former glory to capitalize on. Obviously, that cannot work for too long.
They kept the lights on in Europe because as a German company they could capitalize on a bit of customer loyalty there, but again, it's meaningless when you don't have a product to sell, and your competition does.

That's been a very long time
1992 probably. Pre-NT era. -

It's sad because they were so great in the early 2000s.

Yeah, Netware on DR-DOS was very.... aged by that point.

Why DRDOS? NWDOS-7 was great, it could even do multithreading and networking

NWDos was just a rebranding. Still DR-DOS.

oh I know, but Novell added the networking stack in there, and iirc the multitasking was also developed in cooperation with Novell

Well, no one else was going to invest in DR-DOS. Jajaja

Of oVirt? Yeah, I think we get the features in oVirt first. So anyone on oVirt likely had that stuff already.

@scottalanmiller What's the backend storage on your oVirt install, NFS, Gluster, iSCSI?

We decided not to use oVirt. But if we were, none of those would make sense. We are using virt-manager and local storage basically everywhere.
