    In case most of you don't know, this is a reference to Office Space. I'd prolly have gotten more laughs if I said, "PC Load Letter?! What the fuck does that mean?!"

    It doesn't matter a whole lot... if an intruder has physical access to your gear, you're fux0red either way. And it's not like someone with physical access couldn't connect to the management console port with their laptop, cycle the power, and do the ol' password recovery hack that Cisco gear has built into it.

    It's pretty irrelevent when the majority of the bad-decision makers aren't even there now, so it isn't fair to lump current management in with those losers.

    It's Novell, not Novel.

    Novell has different management this time around, and with people like you who can do nothing but point out their past failures, they know well enough not to let it happen again.

    Not trying to be a jackass or anything, but couldn't you have just counted out like 200 bags, stacked them up, and take a ruler to them to see how tall that stack was, then just multiply, divide, or whatever to figure how many you had in the rest of the pile?

    Get some Novell certs. They're making a rebound. Heck, the new Certified Linux Engineer cert they just created requires a totally hands-on test. Either that, or just go for your MCSE and get made fun of. I haven't heard of any CNE jokes, but I do know plenty of MSCE jokes.

    On the contrary, Small Business Suite is geared directly towards small companies. Hell, they give it away to non-profits. Virus-proof email server, solid file + print server, firewall, and they can even host their own website on Apache.

    You don't even need a client now. NetWare ships with Native File Access. Does what it says, let's clients connect and access shares without the Novell client. *nix, Windows, Mac. I run client 4.9 on Windows 2000, and I haven't had a problem at all. Same goes for GW 6.5 client.

    eDirectory is still the best X.500 directory out there. And ZENworks is the best desktop management product out there according to Gartner Group. What the hell do you know about Corporate IT?

    Trust me, I know the difference between NDS and eDirectory. I just said NDS as a generalization to "dumb it down" for the uninformed. More people know what NDS is than eDirectory.

    Well, eDirectory (NDS) is their flagship product, and is the best X.500 directory on the market. Next is ZENworks, the best desktop management solution according to Gartner Group. And they can both run on at least Linux, Windows, and especially on NetWare. I wouldn't say ignorant, just misinformed or uniformed. Now you can say you are informed. :)

    They have always been relevent to the people who have worked with NetWare and understand why it's such a great NOS. But, PHB's have forced them to move towards Linux, because all their fancy PHB Monthly magazines are telling CxO's to go with Linux.

    You're trolling, but I'll bite. Novell is sitting on a mountain of cash and short term investments, making them a 1 billion dollar company. If their revenue stopped coming TODAY, they would be able to fully operate for at least 3 years. And I just did a NetWare 6 deployment a few months ago, and it is rock solid.
