Cluster. Where can I find the information on Microsoft or both product
comparision? How reliable of MS Cluster?

A cluster for what??? File and print sharing? Only thing that I can assume
you are talking about since Netware does not support to many applications.
My point of view have setup both and history with both Novell and M$.
Novell hands down is 10 time better OS for file and print. Novell's NSS3
file system smokes NTFS. Active Directory compared to NDS is a joke. Ease
of management on NDS vs AD and Novell file system compared to M$ NTFS is
no comparison, you can manage Novell with half the people and would have
to buy shit loads of third party add-ons for Win2k to get the same
functionality.

wow......finally an enlightened person speaks the truth!!
I've known this about Novell for years....MS is a wanna-be that has made
a science out of ripping off novell and a string of other companies,
then they repackage their "new" hacked product as "innovative"!! LOL

another product that smokes windows NT and 2K for file/print sharing is
samba on unix/linux. The harder you push unix/linux, the more efficient
it becomes....the harder you push windows, the less efficient it becomes.
