FYI, Dell servers used to ship with Netware as an option - I haven't ordered a server with an os since we switched over to freebsd and linux, but I think think that option is still available. The Dell/Novell relationship goes way back, as does the compaq (now hp) and Novell relationship.
Thanks Salo,
By the time I got into IT novell was already in trouble and I went pretty much straight into *nix..
