Hi Charles, Why would you want to get rid of Novell? I can see why you would want to use Linux as a mail and web server, but Novell is a perfectly good networking platform, and there's no need in breaking things if they don't need to be fixed. I just completed a Novell class about eight weeks ago, and I was actually quite impressed. The version of NetWare on which I learned was 5.1. Are you looking for some functionality that you feel Novell just doesn't provide? Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications! Technology consultant/instructor, network/systems administrator!
