  Why does Novell sell a non-dedicated mode and everyone complains it
  works so poorly and pawns it off on bad marketing hype. I suspect 
  there are alot of networks where many of the pc are AT's with large
  drives and users want to mantain thier software themselfs and share 
  the data. Giveing up your system to be a dedicated server sounds
  like a dumb idea. So what's the big deal rebooting the file server
  in the none-dedicated mode? Trashes files on the network? Brings 
  the whole network down.

  I kinda like the remark with the :) :)   Ever sence I moved over
  to a unix network I have had 98% uptime. I gave up on novell to
  many times reformating disk because some software package was not
  "net aware" and trashed the file system.
