| SuSE makes a grab for Hammer |
|---|
Gerhard Burtscher has a lot on his plate.
Not only did he accept the post of CEO at German Linux distributor SuSE in December, he also took on the management of five newly created business units.
High on Burtscher's to-do list is getting SuSE ready for Advanced Micro Devices' forthcoming 64-bit chip, Hammer. He is also balancing the needs of business clients with those of the sometimes-chaotic Linux and open-source communities. Last but not least, Burtscher is angling to make SuSE the company that fulfills the German parliament's mandate to equip its servers with Linux.
