  1. Re:uh oh... groupwise? on Novell to Help Port Applications to Linux · · Score: 1
    Since Linux is quickly becoming the O/S of choice (above NetWare - which is quicly becoming depreciated) for Novell, yes, you'll see everything.

    Actually, the 6.5 client (already mentioned) - although not quite as refined as the Windows client - is pretty nice. Use it all the time.

  2. Re:Finally a Novel Topic on Slashdot on Novell to Help Port Applications to Linux · · Score: 1
    yes, yes, yes. I DO like the company in particular, and am glad to see Novell get the /. recognition it deserves.

  3. Re:Not surpriseing - deliberate dumbing down on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    You apparently have very little understanding of homeschooling if you think they get no interaction with kids and are 'far too sheltered'. First I question anyone who wants their 2nd grader socialized by other 2nd graders...it's no wonder it takes twice as long in public schools per day to cover the same material as at home. Discipline, and repetition and meeting the lowest common denominator dominate the classroom. Anyway, most (certianly not all) homeschooled children have as much 'interaction' with others - children and adults as anyone in the public system - how is spending 8 hours a day with age/economic/culturally-peered kids preparing you for a life in a diverse workplace / world?

  4. Good Book on Ethereal Packet Sniffing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bought the book last week. Likely nothing you can't find on-line, but I would almost always prefer a hardcopy in my hands when I want a reference manual.

    It seens to be a good intro to Ethereal and packet sniffing - esp. if you've not done much with it before.

  5. Re:Why Wal*Mart? Gott in Himmel, why? on Wal-Mart Sells PCs Preloaded With Sun's Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    The corporate culture at WalMart promotes bullying. As a support engineer for one of their telecom providers, I heard them threaten to walk away from signed contracts 3 times in the course of two months if we would not produce increased service levels - beyond those originally stated (measured and proven) for free. "We are Wal-Mart. Resistance is Futile" Of course, the sales side of the house caved to the pressure. This is not an isolated event...

  7. Re:Novell topic icon? on Novell Makes More Open Source Moves · · Score: 1

    Yes. Thank you. I've been looking for a big red 'N' under topics for years now. Maybe now we can get Novell some /. status. Apple has what - something like 10 categories?
    Please. Please. Please.

  8. Novell Topics (OT?) on Novell Offers Linux Users Legal Indemnity · · Score: 1


    Why doesn't Novell have it's own topic subsection?? Their recently bought product lines do. Heck, Apple alone has half a dozen topic headings. And this thread is under Caldera. I've looked - where do I request Novell to be a topic...

  9. ok, on to reality... on SCO Gives Notice To 6,000 Unix Licensees · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So I've got one SCO Openserver box licensed with 2 CPUs. As well, I've got a couple RedHat machines. I'm certainly on some SCO customer list - I was required to register the CPU's. Let's say I get one of these letters, and I hand it over to our company lawyers. I don't believe the request has merit, but that is likely to matter little to anybody other than me in this non-tech company. Even if I say they don't have any right to sue us, that will mean little on the way to the courtroom - or even for management considering the risk. Unless I throw the letter away (tempting) I will likely be expected to respond as directed under the license.
