Jury still out on NT 5.0 replacing Unix

The Butler Group (UK) has published a technical paper pointing out that NT 4.0 cannot be considered an enterprise solution because it lacks the directory services that Netware provides. However, despite Unix's scalability and robustness, it costs too much in expertise, hardware and software, so the main battle will be played out between Novell and Microsoft. But NT also has its disadvantages: skills shortage, and general robustness. Since the report costs money, you can get the low-down in this Register Article.

Samba provides SMB support, there's also AppleTalk support, so is there any Netware support for Linux other than through DosEmu.
