November 2007 Highlights - Novell Support Resource Library
Novell Technical Subscriptions
Getting more than you paid for is kind of like finding loose change in the couch—it's always nice to have a little extra. In this shipment, you will notice that your Install DVD is titled "Professional Resource Suite Install DVD" instead of "Support Resource Library Install DVD" like it was in the past. That's because from now on your subscription has been upgraded to include the same support and technical resources contained in the Novell® Professional Resource Suite. In addition to new bonus utilities and white papers, you will still have access to all of the resources you enjoy today: updated documentation, new Novell Connection Magazine articles, the latest Cool Solutions articles, updated ReadMe files and patches, new Support Knowledgebase documents (TIDs) and more.

Everyone's obsessive about something: collecting, gaming and blogging are just a few of the favorites. If you're looking for a productive obsession, however, we suggest patching. And with the 21 patches included in this month's subscription, you'll find it easy to keep your system up to date and quickly satisfy those patching urges. You'll be so efficient, you might even have time to put together a new fantasy sports team!

New Support Knowledgebase Documents (TIDs)
Questions you have? Answers you'll find. (And you don't even need to be a Jedi master!) The Novell Support Knowledgebase contains thousands of technical information documents (TIDs) that explain your Novell products in detail. And since we added more than 352 new TIDs in the past month, you can focus on creating a secure, manageable IT system—instead of honing your arsenal of villain-diverting mind tricks.
Cool Solutions Articles
With winter on the way, we suggest you chill out with Novell Cool Solutions: an online community for collaboration, tips, updates and code additions. You can easily share what you know about your favorite Novell products or learn a thing or two from your peers. And with 115 new articles and resources added this month, you'll have plenty of reading material to accompany the spiced cider.
