Official CNE5 as of last week here. Giving my 'Upgrade to NW6' tomorrow, uh, actually that would be today in the afternoon. Let's see how it goes.

As far as ZENworks its counterpart on Linux will Ximian's Red Carpet Management product, last I heard. Though you never know with Novell and I still see ZENworks for Servers listed as a product for Linux. The perfect product would be Red Carpet getting subsumed into ZENworks to create a package that will run on (and manage) Linux, NetWare, Solaris and even Windows - in short, any platform that is supported by eDirectory. To do otherwise and managing two different products that manage two different platforms would make no sense. But regardless its good to see solid commercial products such as Edirectory w/ DirXML(Directory Services), ZENworks/Red Carpet(Server/Desktop Management), IFolder, IPrint and Netmail running on Linux.
