I wasn't aware of that ... the one's I fiddled with all had Celerons.
The guys who have 'em are still smiling.

and I
That's where my previous ventures into the Linux world fell apart, because the
documentation and the behavior/messages I saw from the software didn't even
remotely align. The need for Netware compatibility arises from the DOS
applications I use every day. They won't run with a driver the size of what
most network shells compatible with SMB or NFS, etc, require. They will,
barely, run with the Netware shell. That's a deal-breaker, though, since
networking that won't allow the DOS app's I use to work on the LAN is quite
useless to me.
The earliest I used was NT3.51.

Not my experience at all. How do you get past the clockset, type of
install, and all that?

I've repaired a bunch of those boxes. All that hardware and a 90W
PSU.... Plus, the 350-500MHz were K6-2 processors, installed with a
very cheap heatsink & fan, and no thermal goo whatsoever. Can you say
random crash?

Maybe it's time to take another look.
Yup. Comparing RedHat v7.2 to RedHat v4.2 (first RH I tried) is like
comparing Windows 2000 to NT v3.1. You _will_ probably have to do some
research if you want to run Novell services. If you are just a client,
it'll be pretty easy.
