Hello,

I like Novell, but it has irked me in several ways

-- Can still get a OS2 / WARP free client, but have to pay for a Macintosh
-- Groupwise postoffices can be a bear to work with
++ Becoming more like Linux with how it does things, core OS
++ Lots of nice web tools to manage the server
++ New developments in printing and volume pools and sorts
++ Able to offer Native Macintosh and Unix/Linux access w/o client

I also like Novell's simple IPX protocol to uploading/downloading GHOST images of computers. Works well, and is simple. Can make a floppy disk network enabler quite easily.
