While not a personal computer, I remember AIX v3 for the IBM RISC/6000 came on about 100 floppies! One poor customer received it in that form... I pity the person who had to reinstall the system off them!
And Sun's Directory Server has features that Novell's doesn't. It runs on Linux. So what's your point?
As far as technology goes, there are always swings and roundabouts with different vendors. Price, performance, stability, features, support... these are always up and down.
I've heard plenty of things about eDirectory that make me shudder. Accept that you have made a choice you like and others have chosen differently. And that there is no "number one", except in your own mind, for your own situation.
Or put your Novell employee ID in your.sig:-P
Where I work, we get affected by each Outlook addressbook-reading virus as they come through, even though Outlook is banned on the internal network, with threats of firing employees who use it.
Somehow, people don't seem to get the message.
While these occurrences are not common, they generate a huge amount of email.
They also generate a large number of clueless replies from people, asking to be taken off internal mailing lists that have been spammed, or back to the person whose addressbook has been compromised asking them to stop sending messages!

Can you elaborate? ;-)
Well, I got to keep my job after the latest round of lay-offs ... and I'm supposed to be grateful for that!!
