to remind GreigMcGill
to get off his ass
, and do
a writeup on
the latest version
of Novell
NetWare -
NetWare 6.
+NetWare - it used
to be the ''only'' option for a file and print server if you had x86 hardware.
+Even when NT became available, people would scorn it in favour of NetWare's superiority.
+
+Nowadays, things are a bit different. It's still superior in most large enterprise respects - it is stable, well documented, easy
to manage
, and scales like
a trooper! Hardware support is dying off a bit though, and migration to those lovely "lock-in" applications like MS-SQL and MS-Exchange, coupled with
the rise
of Linux as a file and print server, is slowly squeezing
NetWare out of the market it helped to create.
+
+
NetWare 6 though, it must be said, is LOVELY!
+
+Stuff it can do (aka features):
+
+* eDirectory - this is an LDAP implementation on steroids. VERY well integrated, and easy to manage.
+* Now has a server based GUI - X based! ;)
+* More later..
