With some free time and some spare equipment lying around, I decided to give Novell's Open Enterprise Server an install. I work in a Netware environment, but given recent trends, I decided to try and drop OES on a fresh SuSE Enterprise install. This isn't a comprehensive review; rather it's just some comments while I was just playing around. It might give people a better idea what OES actually is.

I agree X should not be required. As for normal SuSE installations, YaST is independent of X. If you run YaST under X, then yes it will use a GUI interface. But if you run it in a text terminal it will use an ncurses interface -- but the functionality is identical!
Novell should keep this functionality (it is unclear from the article if they have), and I suggest they even add an install option to use a server purely in ncurses mode. After all, they had great success with their text based console in Novell 4.x.
