I'm still wondering when they will change the name of NetWare 6 to
GNU/DOS?

I've written on length about Novell previously, and how they could
nearly saved themselves back in 1993 with Linux.  Had they moved their
core technologies to a Linux kernel, we'd all probably be running
NetWare servers right now.

But instead, all NetWare is today is a set of programs atop of a 32-bit
DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface) kernel.  Other than their core
technologies, it's little more than BSD, GNU, X and other Freedom/Open
Source Software atop.

Total clusterfsck if you ask me.
