SalesTalks are for the busy sales and technical pre-sales professional or anyone who could use a few concise and quotable talking points when discussing the merits of using SLE in their environment.

In this episode of Novell Sales Talk, I’m joined by Cameron Seader, one of our top support pro’s for a discussion of what is new and cool in the upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise Version 11.  Cameron’s perspective as someone who deals with customers all day long and knows the insides of the code is very helpful in understanding what the impact of many of the new features mean, and what’s changed to improve the customer’s experience.
