it would make you sick if you had Novell stock and knew that in the 90s, Ray Norda
tried to get Linux into Novell and under both the Netware server stack and under the
clients. Not to mention that, when kicked out, he created Caldera and Caldera Linux
with deep ties to Netware. But they learned how to make more money using legal threats
when they purchased DR DOS from Novel and then sued Microsoft and won a bunch of
millions in a settlement. They eventually purchased SCO, did some Linux work there
but again thought they could make more money threatening Linux customers and IBM
with legal action regarding ownership of UNIX and its ties to Linux. And your favorite
company, Microsoft, was behind getting them millions of dollars to keep them afloat
and in court.
I set up a few systems running Netware for OS/2 and it was pretty cool. Not sure how
much OS-like features they ended up having later since DOS didn't really give them much.
