I have to take issue with that one. OES/SLES9 is pure Linux. It is a complete install of SLES9 with some great Novell services that run on it. There is nothing bastardised about it.
My take on this is that Novell has done a great service for its NetWare customers by giving them an easy migration path to Linux. This may not pay off very well for Novell because once their customers are on Linux they may realize that they don't really need Novell anymore.
Yeah we do all that, but we shouldn't have to. Novell should have taken care of all of this by now. Bash for NetWare is certainly intriguing, as is the aunixnw ( a unix environment for NetWare) project. Still when you think of the thousands of shell utilities Unix systems have NetWare will have a long way to go. Of course it already has Perl so in one sense what else could it need!
I'm a great NetWare fan and use it for the main file and print services at the Univ where I work. I also love Linux so this is a win win for me. One area where Linux is a much more mature product is in the shell. NetWare has no real shell and no security at the console. Remote access to a NetWare box uses a single password and no user level authentication. Having NetWare services running on top of a secure box with a shell that you can actually do stuff in will be great. l

using XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT you can gernerate your XML and apply an XSL transformation very easily from a perl CGI program. One thing I've done is read in data from a relational database, build an XML DOM on the fly and then apply the XSL. This way I don't have to make any formatting decisions in my program. How the page will display is all handled in the XSL. This is a great way to impliment the Model View Controller thing where the data, the programming, and the presentation are all separate. Paul
Ashland Oregon has a population of about 20,000. The city was already in the utilities business with water and electricity when they decided to build the fiber network. While this probably won't make any money for the city its been great for the residents and local businesses. I've had a cable modem for almost a year now and its been very fast and reliable.
I didn't have as good an experience on my beige G3. Mostly it was X stuff. I cannot find XF86 4.0.1 anywhere. It was not in the upgrade, and I don't see it anywhere on ftp.linuxppc.org.
Any clues?
Thanks,

Linux does have NDS, and it is a great product. I wonder how others might handle thousands of users logging into multiple Linux, Solaris, and NetWare servers, from either Windows, Linux, or Sun workstations with the same account. NDS will do that for you. I suppose a Unix purist might try and do the same thing with NIS but I would feel very sorry for the,them.

aka NDS will run on all 3 platforms and over you centralized user account management and a single login.
