Novell® ZENworks® Linux Management makes it easy to embrace and extend
Linux* within your existing environment. It is the only solution that uses policy-driven
automation to deploy, manage, and maintain Linux resources. These automated and
intelligent policies allow you to provide centralized control across the lifecycle of
Linux systems for desktop lockdown, imaging, remote management, inventory
management, and software management. The result is a comprehensive Linux
management solution that eliminates IT effort by dramatically reducing the required
overhead needed to manage Linux systems.

of the product. These scenarios are used by our test team and are now being shared
outside of the internal teams to better facilitate testing by users. This
