Keywords: Novell, lan, UNIX Message-ID: <1718@cveg.uucp> Date: 29 Jan 89 21:39:49 GMT Sender: netnews@cveg.uucp Organization: College of Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Lines: 12 I am a UNIX fan, but my job is UNIX-less. What kind of an argument can I make for replacing the Novell operating system on or LAN file server with UNIX? I am the LAN manager, but don't know enough to argue. We have a bunch of PC clones and a few PS/2 model 30 machines. We also have an IBM AS/400 B-60. I will drop this information on you and hope for a good argument for getting UNIX on my desk (The file-server!). If you can help me out, please reply! Thanks in advance, James Ward
