As others mentioned Samba doesn't do IPX (what netware uses).
If all you are looking for is a way to do file sharing then
FreeBSd+Samba will do.

In addition if the school was willing to pay money to get netware then
I would recommend Netmax.
It is basically a web interface on top of FreeBSD, Samba, DNS and a
number of other programs. 

Makes things much easier.
Check the demo at www.netmax.com
I have one box running it, but I am waiting for a SDSL line to put it
in production.

Also the tech support for the product and all the people at the company
are really great.
