Between all the updated MacBooks and Snow Leopard news items across the web, you'd almost forget that Apple also has its own server operating system which will also got updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard yesterday. It benefits from the same improvements as the client version, but of course also has a set of its own, server-specific improvements.

Yes I have tried it and it has all the components BUT its overly complicated (As Novell has always been) and as always Novell has 10 interfaces to do the same tasks.
Novell should look at Apple and Microsoft and refine their Openworkgroup suite.
Also they should make some OS user interfaces and not go all Web.
And the Novell client at this point sucks. For instance when you install the client on XP SP3 or Vista you can't log in and get a separate profile for each user. Like on Windows server or if you connect your Windows machine to Mac server you then get a profile in Documents and settings (Users in Vista) but not any longer using the Novell client. (Bad!)

When is a Linux company going to make a Workgroup server like Mac OSX server or Windows server. A server that provides a easy to set up LDAP directory services that can replicate out the box, file sharing to Windows, Linux, Unix and Macs.
And other things like policies, easy user management etc.
The Mac server is not ideal but its pretty slick and has all the features that one needs to do file and print serving, user management etc. :-(
