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.

Funny, I've always thought that the GUI tended to be half-arsed while the command line interfaces were much richer.
In the end this is a linux box though right? A simple ctrl-alt-backspace should kill X and send you to a command line where a startx should get you back into Gui. I don't mind having to set up in X as long as I can kill it and still function remotely. Some of it was done with a web based tool according to the article so you can even forget about X forwarding at that point.
If you want some half-arsed text only environment
