Does Netware 3.12 count? Wait, I've never used XP with it. NT4 and Netware 3.12 were my last experiences with it. Guess I'm a little behind on Novell stuff.

I had to try and integrate some Novell and OS/2 Warp 4 before. It was partially successful, but that was with a version of Novell so old that Novell no longer even offered the upgrade. Sorry can't help out.

Actually the new versions of Netware are TCP/IP based and have an Xwindows based setup. There are NDS clients for Linux just as there are for Windows. As far as the older version you could actually get RCONSOLE to work under DOSEMU and administer a Netware server. And of course you can emulate a netware server with NCP and MARS.

My web-admin is too lazy to get Novell on XWindows, please e-mail him:

(...)

And DON'T mention Refalm in the e-mail please

Just recommend XWindows (esspecially Linux, because he already worked with it)

What is "Novell on Xwindows" and "Novell on Windows"? From what I can tell, not one person in this thread actually understands what Novell and NetWare actually is.

Novell is a company (like Microsoft is a company) that sells a file/print server operating system called NetWare (like Windows NT Server is a file/print server operating system). Novell developed NDS (which Microsoft copied and broke and called Active Directory just to try and put Novell out of business).

There are NetWare/NDS clients that you can install on Windows and Linux desktops so they can talk to Novell servers and participate in the directory (NDS).

When I said that the NetWare setup was Xwindows based on the newer versions I was referring to the actual NetWare installation on the server (there is no Windows and no Linux on the server, only NetWare which is it's own operating system). Novell actually owned the UNIX trademark for a short amount of time and I got the impression that they actually ditched their old OS and are using UNIX as a base OS now. But I didn't mess around with the new version enough to know for sure. I think NetWare sucks as much as Windows NT/2K/XP suck to be honest.

I've never used Netware, although I do hear it sucks...

voidmain · « **Reply #14 on:** 18 November 2002, 21:10 »

Netware/NDS is far superior to NT/2K/AD and Groupware is far superior to Exchange. But all in all, they all suck. Netware/NDS if I had to choose.
