I called Novell's tech support twice 5 years of working at a previous job with Netware. The person who answered the phone asked about 10 questions about our network, and then clearly knew our network better than I did. (This was regarding NDS replication issues in both instances).
I'd recommend Novell's tech support as some of the most accurate, and best in the world. They aren't cheap, but there won't be an idiot who transfers you to a moron, who transfers you to a basic user, who transfers you to a power user, who transfers you to a guru. You'll call in, wait on the phone for a a while (you can request songs that they'll play while you're on hold using their music request website, which is kinda neat. You'll get bored of it about the time that they answer) and then you'll talk to a guru who WILL answer your question accurately the first time. It was money well spent both times that I've needed it. I'd love to have that team behind me for Linux support too. Kev.
