Subject: Re: [ILUG] Novell netware and Linux?
I hate to continue on this no-brainer kick, but I from the point of view
of someone who has relatively little experience with Novell (except a
bit
in migrations away from it to NT) I was just curious about something.
My immediate question was, why do you need Novell once you have migrated
to Linux, or even during the process? I guess, though, I should
elaborate.
What does Novell networking provide that a Linux based system doesn't?
Can one not set up file/directory/printer sharing systems that provide
the
same (better?) functionality, although implemented through different
tools? For networks with Windows-based clients or for migrations,
couldn't Samba create a lot of this functionality on a basis more
familiar
to the user?
Just curious, 'cause I don't know.
