I have a somewhat heterogeneous environment here and utilize both. I have
no windows servers.
I use my linux box as an email server, a list server, an ftp server. I got
my CNE before I started to learn linux and as a result, we use one Novel
machine as a firewall and web cache with BorderManager. One other serves
as the main file and print server.
As I see it, the one major advantage for us with Novell is NDS. We use it
fairly extensively to handle rights to network resources.
