I sort of lost track of Novell after Netware bit the dust. It just goes to show how a dynamo like Microsoft can run over probably the most stable fileserver software ever created. I'm sure the Novel/Microsoft conversation could be a long thread all by it's self. But alas, this is a Linux forum. Anyway, I shot Progeny a quick e-mail and will see where that end up. I don't want anything from Progeny, other then RPM's to fix security issues.
