1200 staff across 16 sites are supported by 25 IT people in my organisation. The majority of those are on the helpdesk.
We have 6 back office (servers/network etc) staff, 2 administrative (including the CIO) and the remainder are either fully helpdesk or various degrees between helpdesk and technical.
Sorry - I made the obviously false assumption that you were running 6.5 or greater seeing as 6.0 and previous is EOL'd...
Methinks you've got interesting times ahead..
Have you looked at configuring CIFS support on the Netware servers and using the iPrint client (which replaces the need for the novell client although it utilises the NDPS backend). I cannot tell you how well (if at all) the iprint client would work in a 64bit environment, but if used as passthru devices within the session it may not be a big deal...
"We still don't know why bepedialism became a dominant direction for instance (though there are lots of competing theories), but it certainly has a lot to do with how humans came to use tools so commonly."
One postulate is that it would prove useful to be able to see over the tall grass on the savannah in order to be able to either detect prey, or detect danger. Another idea is that of the "aquatic-ape" whereby there was a supposed period where human ancestors spent much time in the shallows and bipedalism became an advantage. The semi-aquatic ape idea is now largely discarded.
One of the advantages of bipedalism is that it frees up two limbs in order to be able to carry things, such as food. This would extend the range of a proto-human population and they could expand beyond their original range. Cooperation (social skills) become important also because some in a band could gather berrys, others could gather roots such as yams and still others could go fetch water or throw rocks at rabbits. Then they could all converge at base camp and have a feast. Thus they are more successfull in their environment, and have a greater chance of reproducing (the ultimate aim of the selfish gene).

It is taking them a long time to get this ready, and they had a setback with the loss of a few team members, but they seem to be picking up pace again. They even have the tacvit approval of Raven to do this...
Remember that they are not firing this at sea-level, but at altitude. The higher they are, the larger the visible arc of the earth. So half a world away may be a little bit of an exaggeration, but a plane cruising over US airspace could certainly knock a missle out launched from Europe especially if it had gone ballistic...
"We have not seen dinosaurs grow wings or feathers"
We have not witnessed the event occurring, but then I also did not see your mother give birth to you although the evidence says that she did. i.e. Past events can be inferred from existing clues. Otherwise forensics would be a fraud yes? Also it is populations that evolve - not individuals..
As to your particular example, what is wrong with Archaeopteryx as exactly a dinosaur with wings and feathers? There have been 10 fossilised examples of this transitional form discovered. You can see some more about this at: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/archaeopteryx/info .html
Incidentally, here is another link you may find interesting to read (if you are really that interested that is - no shame if you have better things to worry about) http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/:-)
Evolution as a "fact" refers to the set of observations that scientists (and others) have made over the past 200 or more years. That is that many living and dead creatures appear to be related and to fall into an historical "tree". Fossils have also presented more evidence for this. As have DNA and a number of other observations (ring species etc).
Evolution as a "theory" is an attempt to bring all of those observations into a coherent model. The model basically states that populations will change over time via genetic drift (mutation) and that natural selection will be the filter that allows those populations that are best adapted to an environment to procreate at a higher rate than those who are in some way deficient (for that environment).
*ahem* That would be fine if you were connected to Ethernet on the WAN side. But when your get into serial (Frame-relay/X.21 etc) or ATM, the cost starts going up rapidly. Also, remember that Linux routers use general purpose CPUs (not specialised hardware) and you may get into trouble routing at wire-speed for 100Mbps or higher. Anyone now how many packets a Linux router can forward per second?
Nothing is mentioned about using DNA (in fact i'm not even sure if it would be preserved for that amount of time). Also I don't know where the "two dropllets" of blood comes from - the scientist has been using "droplets" which could be any number larger than one...
Picky aren't I?:)
The find is seriously cool though..
Although I use Zenworks every day (and love it), by no means would I suggest that Novell invented group policies. Novell just found a way to make group policies useable. MS (native) has since caught up on that aspect. But there is more to managing windows devices aside from group policies....
Along with Zenworks (an eDirectory enabled management application) you can have your group policies too!
Buy Netware (or Open Enterprise Server - Suse SLES 9.0 + Novell services by another name) and you'll get all of the eDirectory and Linux goodness, plus DirXML which is a programmable metadirectory allowing synchronisation between eDirectory and whatever you want (including MS-AD)
Netmail for add bells and whistles (plus "support) or Hula for the FOSS version of Netmail (I think under GPL).
Netmail was supposedly designed for large numbers of users
didn't really look into too much, but the project looks a little stale, and the FAQ states that they are just trying to emulate the look and feel of XP, not go right down to the nitty gritty of providing deep down emulation. Still - worth looking into though.
No - according to LMI and Linux, unless you are profiting directly from the Linux name, you would only take a trademark licence if you wanted to protect FooLinux from any other person using that.
So in other words - if you want your distro name protected from being hijaacked - get a licence. If you start selling a version of BSD and call it FooLinux, you'll get a Cease & Desist letter.
Sun X86 runs on Intel/AMD stuff only
Linux runs on PPC, x86, ARM, SPARC, IBM Big-iron, VAX, Alpha, MIPS, m68K etc. Sure, some of them are pretty much irrelevant but there is a certain attraction to be able to develop for many architectures and choose the one which best suits the business needs. Solaris cannot do that (Solaris SPARC is a different beast internbally to Solaris X86 and only one of them is open anyway...)
except we don't call them shrimp here. They are prawns or yabbies. The Paul Hogan ad "Put another shrimp on the barbie" was so that you Americans would understand...

Hello. Help desk? My Roxxxy is fucked.
Maybe someone could introduce them to the concept of a BCC.

Nope - Hitler did. They got the 1936 Olympic opening ceremony 29 years ago...
