Every new Linux distribution, particularly from an established vendor such as Novell Inc.'s SUSE division, brings with it the question "Is it ready to take on Microsoft on the desktop?"

Since then, the company has launched an enterprise-level successor, NetSupport DNA, which adds application and Internet metering, software distribution and remote control. We recently tested this version, and while it still has a few warts, it does a great job of making a system administrator's job easier.
