My knowledge of Netware from version 2.x on made my career.

It’s sad that it’s now gone.

I’ve never used Suse but I’ve heard good things about it.

"Novell has had many chapters in its 28-year history and today marks the start of a new, exciting chapter," John Dragoon, the Chief Marketing Office at Novell blogged. "As Novell joins forces with The Attachmate Group, the result will be a powerful portfolio of companies united by a common purpose and dedicated team."

...blah...blah...blah. One of the most egregious examples of merger-speak I've heard in a while.

I loved Netware. MS’s directory service still hasn’t come anywhere near what Netware could do. And don’t get me started about the salvage utilities, which someone else has already mentioned.

We stopped using Novell products when Netware 6.5 came out, and Novell didn’t even make an attempt to keep us. We went from Netware to samba running on freebsd to MS AD. So it’s been a slow steady downhill slide for us. :-)
