I have been a Novell dealer since the 80's. I also have extensive Unix (SCO) experience, though my Linux experience is much weaker.

We had already spent about six weeks with OES Linux. It was a rough ride (and still is a little bumpy at times). It could have been smoother had I had this book from the beginning.

Unfortunately, we had already learned most of what this book had to tell us from the school of hard knocks.

The most disappointing part was the troubleshooting section. It was limited to telling us where to find the log files--something we figured out weeks ago.

What we're hoping for is a "Mastering Novell OES Linux" that goes into each component (namcd, ndsd, nss, ldap, etc.) and takes it apart, gives you all the gotchas and gives you possible causes when things don't go as planned.

Just what I need at this stage - 2006-09-28

I've been working with Novell Netware for many years and needed something to ease me into the linux side of things. It works well by taking all the services you know and love on the NW kernel and shows you how to get the equivalents running in linux.

Great book that I refer to as needed. I would not be without it when administrating a Netware environment.
