Caldera has the right idea, because it is their bundling of Netware services with their Linux distribution that incents MIS people to introduce a new OS into their environment. Just about all of our customers are Netware environments, and it is precisely this lack of a Netware client or integration into NDS that usually halts any FreeBSD box from being introduced. Just look at what is happening in our industyr right now. Sun is integrating NT services into it's OS, Novell will run its NDS on Novell or NT, .... etc etc. Integration into heterogeneous environments is critical to any OS being adopted, and I am surprised by the fact that only Caldera (and obviously UNIXWare) are doing the Novell thing.
