Novell Networking - For the Home? [message #137452]

Just a quick Question...
Can a Novell Network be used for a Home Network rather than for a business?
Just, we use Novell at work, but I don't know much about it, so doing a Novell Network at home will teach me more about it as days go on...

Also, is it practical for the home?

Cheers,

Andy

Its kinda overkill for a home network, but for your purposes it could be a good training option. I ran a bbs in the old days on Novell and it was a very stable network and a great training tool for me as well.

ah, the good old days when they had novell installed at school. Eveyone abused the messaging system so they disabled it. Then we enabled it again because they forgot to deny us access to the config.

lol, our school keeps on getting screwed. They can't seem to keep anyone out of the configs.

No. Seriously. No.

Exactly. If you are going to use Novell for networking, so you can network 2 computers its overkill.

But for learning purposes, its totally fine. Not overkill if you are learning from it.

So when you say overkill, you mean Novell is designed for a mass amount of computers rather than 3?

Novell Netware server will run on pretty much any POS computer you have laying around. I once set it up on a 386-33 at home just to test stuff, and it worked just as good as our server at the office.

When I say overkill, I meant that you could network those 3 computers without the need for a server. Novell can certainly handle those 3 and them some, but you just don't need it.

But again, this is for learning purposes, so it doesn't matter.

For learning purposes it will work, just like Blazer said it'll run on just about any old PC and serve you well. Setup 2 Novell servers and you can practice with replication, time sync, and shared volumes. That's how I learned so much about the NOS's, I installed them at home and broke as much stuff as I could so I would know how to fix it. Good experience, since most companies won't let you "experiment" with the "live" network! Crying or Very Sad

And for the record, Novell is a much better and more stable NOS than anything Micro$oft can steal or come up with on their own.
