I'm asking this for someone who has to decide what PC network they will use in
a trade school. The intention is to teach a course on or using a PC network.
It is also desirable to make use of the network to get real work done, but
the primary use will be teaching. The question is - what do people recommend.
Novell is well known and would be relevant, since it is used widely and the
students would benefit from this when looking for a job. However, there are
alot of other issues including speed, ease of use, cost, supported software,
upgradability and other things. Please email responses. Any info is 
appreciated.

		Thanks,
