HI
I have couple of Novell Netware 4.11 based servers mainly used for DOS based client for remote booting and legacy application. I really like Novell NDS service. It is extremely convenient way of managing servers. I want to now migrate to Novell NetWare to Linux (Suse Linux). Are there any comprehensive How-tos or guides available?
Thank you
Komal

Hi Komal,
You might want to look at LTSP (Linux Terminal Services Project) for remote booting of clients. http://www.ltsp.org/
Also the Novell Netware emulator (Mars-Nwe) is also extremely good. check it out at http://www.compu-art.de/mars_nwe/ I have used both some time back and it is possible to integrate both.
Novell has some faqs here -> http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/netware/
If Novell Netware 4.11 is based on IPX/SPX and you want to move to TCP/IP n/w (with Suse Linux)Then you might have some problems.

I'm not sure how helpful this is:
You can connect to a Linux box from PCs that can boot DOS.
I tried SSHDos a few days ago. I'm now able to connect to an SSH box via a DOS workstation running a packet driver for my Intel EtherExpress card.
You need a packet driver for your LAN card(available with the LAN card driver disk or via (www.crynwr.com), a DOS bootable floppy, and SSHDOS. You need not have MS DOS, even FreeDOS would be enough.
Thank you
