flyingferret 0 #7 October 18, 2004 So in one post you concurrently labeled yourself as a nerd and expressed a desire to install Novell. My plane of existence is collapsing. Seriously, I have no idea, because I never touched Novell and shed no tears over it.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

bob.dino 1 #10 October 18, 2004 Go have fun. If that doesn't work, contact Novell. As long as they're your licences () they shouldn't have any problems sending you replacement keys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob.dino 1 #12 October 18, 2004 If you want a fast efficient file/print/directory server that just doesn't fall over, Netware 4+ is a good choice. It's a shit choice as an application server. However, Novell have committed to making all their tools available on Linux, so you'll be able to buy Novell with a Netware or a Linux kernel. Which will rock.

Hang on there. I used to be a network operations manager for a large company, and we had a dual-os environment, NT for applications servers and Novell for file and print servers. The Novell side of the house rarely had a problem, and if it DID, it at least tried to repair ITSELF and let you know how many times it had to partially abend. Any time my NT servers went down, day, night, vacation, it was back to work I trudged to manually restart and repair the NT side of the house. Of course, it did get a little dicey once, coming in to see that my main file server (for a large corporation) had a "<238>" before the prompt.

Yup, that's the cool thing about Novell, NEVER DIES, Windows on the other hand, it crashes even if a fly flies too close to it. I just use Novell as a File/Print server, and it has been TURNED ON FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS, never rebooted it or nothing, never a problem, but the box running it is OLD and has small HD's so I want to install it on a better box with larger drives.

I think "used to be" are the operative words here. There has been remarkable progress in IT since then I assure you. It's all in good fun.

NOVELL ROCKS!!! That sounds like my linux box :) I have not hit 6 years, however it has hit over 1 year a couple of times in the 6 years it's been running rebooted only for Kernel upgrades or power outages that outlast my UPS. Right now it's at about 200 days, rebooted because I moved. Yes, I'm a geek too FGF #??? I miss the sky...

AggieDave 6 #24 October 19, 2004 Novell? Damn, and I thought I was behind a bit with technology since I haven't worked in IT for a few years. Even when I was working in IT no one used Novell. Just setup a simple tcp/ip network, if you need a file server setup a *nix box or a linux box, what ever your flavor is. Just go out and ask on a IT board if you should run a BSD varient of a Linux varient, they'll give you a clear straight forward answer.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
