Ex-Microsoft exec to grow Linux in South Africa
Alastair Otter 	September 22 2004
 
Novell South Africa yesterday announced it has appointed ex-Microsoft employee
Garry Hodgson as its OEM Business Development manager. Hodgson during his time
at Microsoft was a key architect of the company's Windows 95 OEM strategy
which established the company as the dominant player in the software market in
South Africa. Hodgson was also the driver of Microsoft's programme to offer
all schools in South Africa with free software. Hodgson left Microsoft 18
months to establish the Digital Hope Foundation with the idea of providing
communities and schools with low-cost access to computing technology.

Novell MD Stafford Masie said the company intends to deliver Linux to end
users through a channel that Hodgson and his team are already in the process
of developing. Masie said they intend to have pre-installed Linux PCs on the
shelves of major retailers within the next month. And he said all of the key
distributors and systems builders already had access to the SuSE Linux
software and most had already signed up to distribute PCs with certified SuSE
Linux installed.
