We run Netware and FreeBSD here, and find it a good combination.Most admins of Netware are looking for something non-M$ to put their trust in. Something that doesn't fight against Netware. And Since Netware just sent to using X on their server, (running CDE) you might get more enthusiasim. Try to sell it as a solution to things that Netware doesnt do, not a a replacement. We run FreeBSD as a WEB SErver, DNS, and backup printing to Novell.. Keeps us from having all our eggs in one basket. -Chris > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
