Forgive me if I'm a little less enthusiastic. :)
Yes, Novell ties it all together nicely. Yes, Novell has some features that the free alternatives don't.
No, I'm not convinced it's worth the price. And no, Novell's sales force was not responsive when I tried buying their products for a client of mine who wanted robust directory services under Linux. Let's hope that their years of decline in market share has made them hungry enough to address these concerns adequately.
