Plug a NDPS aware printer into you network, or into a NDPS aware JetDirect-ish box, create an object in nwadmin and print. Thats it.
Tell it what divers to use, and itll push 'em down to the lusers.
So far NDS is the only shipping directory service, and prety close to everyone can use it, from IBM mainframe people to 9x/NT and slowaris.
ADS may never ship, and lots of companies holding out for MS have bailed and moving to Novell. And since you can now replace all of NT's administration & authentcation with NDS, why would you ever use ADS? NDS works, and it works today. Im sure within a month of win2k shipping there will be NDS for it.
NDS might well mean the end of MS, or at least another nail in there coffin:)
How often do regular people upgrade there computers? Never, component by component. Whenever it gets old they either suffer through or cough up the money and get a new one.
Sure compleatly integrated things make it hard to impossible to upgrade subsystems, but so what? Someone in the market for $1000PCs will get there 2-3years out of it then get another one.
I dont know if I got it from./ or not, but Cyrix has made a 'proof of concept' WebPad.. Esentialy what we see here, except there getting OEMs to do all the final stuff.
It runs QNX, and OEMs can add things like PCMCIA sockets and whateverelse they feel like. Unlike, say, a WebTV, or a PalmPilot, it has a 'real' processor, a MediaGx. No, dont think of playing Quake III on it, but its still cool. Not a replacement to a PC, or even to a laptop. But how many people have or want both a Palm and a laptop? This fits in the middle, and its nothing to cary around a clipboard is it?
I dont know if I'd buy a WebPad, but if they dropped the web and added another d... Where do I sign?
Dammit, I just bought a bread slicer template, and wouldnt you know it: I diddnt check if it was y2k complient.
I guess Ill haeve to push back my purchase of that H&K so I can insure I can slice my bread next year.
Funky management tools as well?

Anyone have any idea how well linux will support all the funky things like temp sensors, fan faults and what not?
I havent heard anything on this front, I would imagine that all the calls would (formerly) have to had been reverse engineered. I dont know how hard this would have been for these Dell's (or even if these paticular models have these things) before.
Actualy Ive only been up close and personal with one pc server, a netfinity 5500, at a Novell show yesterday.
If there is a law agianst it, than its and USA one. Up here, Canadian Tire (a hardware/everything store), a national chain gives away Canadian Tire money, something like 1% of purchases, and takes it back at par.
Its printed on the same stock as Canadian currency (less holograms we have on 20's and up) at the same mint, a crown (ie government run sort of for-profit) corperation.
