GW DMS on Linux

Question

Folks,
is there anyway to use GW DMS on Linux?

Answer 1

While I understand your comment Danita, its kind of getting the
ass before the cart.
Think about it. Novell touts and promises an alternative to
Office. Most companies even large are not going to waste valuable
man resources to submit enhancements over and over and over.
Personally I'm getting sick of it. Make the product, test the
product then tout it, don't say we've got it then tell us to beg
pretty please and maybe we'll get it to work some day ten years
from now. If companies have to continually test and retest (like
its only been going on 3 years for open office and GW if not
longer), install, uninstall, install,uninstall, etc, they're just
going to say screw Novell.
Further it looks bad on Novell, makes them look like a half wit
organization with kmart brand programmers.
Take DMS integrations with Open Office. They've just released the
third Novell Version with promises of easier integration. I just
installed, its got almost identically the same issues as the
previous versions, is totally useless and I'm ready to through my
*&^ laptop through the window. It doesn't matter what product I've
dealt with regarding Novell since the mid 90's, its always
problematic and a total pain. Even those you manage to get working
have some sort of issues that never get resolved and are promised
a fix in the next version. Gee wonder where they get that trick
from.
I've yet to renew my partnership this year and likely won't.
Somehow I keep hoping something will happen over there to fix
things as Novell was my mainstay for so long. I'm slipping beyond
all hope for Novell and will be looking Canadian side of the
boarder for alternative solutions. Too much wasted time.
