[ale] Windows Server 2003

[Jeff Lightner]

Actually it was working with Novell back in the early days that gave me
an understanding of user and group management.   That along with DOS
command line made my transition to UNIX a breeze because all I had to
learn (at a basic level) was the different way UNIX did the same things
DOS/Novell.  Of course UNIX/Linux do one hell of a lot more than that
but it gave me a leg up when I was a newbie.  

Later Novell annoyed me because they took so long to come out with a
TCP/IP implementation and the IPX/SPX interoperability with UNIX was
flaky at best.

I would second that statement.

I like Novell products (most of them....) and I am quite good at working
with them.
eDirectory does not really have a peer in the directory space, and
Novell now has an add-on to it that does quite a good job of making it
look like an AD tree.  I know of a few folks that are even running
(cough, gag) Exchange against it.

with someone who was pretty good a while back and base my understanding

his analysis.
