Coming from a Netware environment, I'm still scratching my head as to why Novell can't seem to get itself sorted with a netware client for linux. Give me a simple login screen, which will run the login scripts, and mounts my novell resources just like it would in my netware/windows environment.

I see three different Linux distros from Novell, grand name changes to product lines(zenworks>red carpet..because that really matters), no real plan for Netware/NDS(eDirectory), and no client for linux. Then again, I could be completely blind and there might be something sitting right in front of me and I just don't see it.

Maybe I'm too negative. Seriously though, there's still nothing Novell is offering that would lead us to stop using Windows 100% on the desktop. Come on Novell, give us "legacy" users a reason to try switching!
