    would not be surprised that they are costing most companies more money over time then a virus running rampart in their network...
     
    Could be true. But I would prefer the occasional problem with the virusscanner (on server or workstation), than one virus running wild over a network without protection.

  10. Re:Right here.. on Novell Networks and Linux? · · Score: 1

    I don't want to start a war about "what distro is better", but have a look at http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/. their distro was designed to operate in a novell environment.

  11. Re:I don't doubt NetWare revenue continues to slip on Novell Layoffs Coming This Month? · · Score: 1

    A couple of weeks ago I did the (adv.) Netware 6.5 training. The (2) other guys were mcse and everything. they did the training because their company was moving from NT4 and W2000 to Windows2003, with Novell E-directory. At first I could not believe this, because it defies market trends. Their decision was based on scalability and performance, and E-directory outperforms AD on both accounts. So we're talking about an all-microsoft shop, that is using E-directory instead of AD. They do exist. The teacher told me that it is quite common for companies to use Microsoft servers with Novell E-directory instead of AD. But still, I'm gonna keep my linux skills up-to date.

    I think that there is another point to be made here. The lady is not able to use a keyboard, and speech is problematic. This situation will not get better. So do not focus on the technology she cannot use, but look elswhere for the solution. Perheps the best way to help her (in more than one way) is by having somebody else type the messages for her. Perhaps a nice voluntary job for the poster? Yes, this will cost time, and no, this problem cannot be bought off by installing some gizmo. If you want to help her, invest time.

  24. Re:If you need to ask.... on Best Linux Hardware Diagnostics? · · Score: 1

    You could be right. Another possibility: the nic-drivers. Excuse me for asking, but did you check things like network speed and duplex-settings? there might be a difference after operating system installs.
    my point was that if you use a sniffer you can see the communication on the network itself and where and why it fails. that's more informative than staring at kernels.

  25. Re:If you need to ask.... on Best Linux Hardware Diagnostics? · · Score: 1

    i can't understand why you would want to use a kernel debugger to troubleshoot network problems. Wouldn't a sniffer be a better idea? That way you can check out what's happening on the network level, where the problem seems to be.
