I am in a situation where I will probably have to install a new
student laboratory consisting of Macintosh workstations. These
Macs would be networked to an existing Novell File Server. I'd
be interested to hear from anyone who maybe running a Mac lab
and using Novell LAN. Some points I'm particularly interested
in are:

1. Can the Mac workstations be setup to remote boot?
2. What type of ethernet cards are available (the suggestion
   is to put low end Macs in such as LCs)?
3. How does one secure Mac mice and keyboards in a student lab
   situation?
4. If anyone is doing this (Mac Lab off Novell File Server), what's
   the performance like and are there any major hassles?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Joe Young.
