Old Unix Geeks unite...

[Puke]

bsd Users and you new-wave linux hippies dont qualify as old time unix geeks. speaking of the *nix or un*x or whatever revival, did you guys know that novell and their child companies are going to start developing for linux? im not sure if its good or bad, but it bears watching.

I had the opportunity to have a brief chat with the inventor of netware Last week, and it sounds like they are going in interesting directions. with new technologies. as a qualifier, i have long discounted novell as being on a long downward spiral, destined to be a thing of legacy environments (not because of inferior technology necessarily, but because of market positioning and certain choices in product development). now im wondering.

I used unix back in school. linux was the only unix like os (that was free) at that time to play around with.

How could this be a bad thing?

Novell. That brings back memories...

Actually I kind of liked that Novell Network. Sure was more stable than the Windows OS that was running. (Anyone remember Windows 3.1?)

looks like its time to take this to the "I Remember When" thread.

and Richard? Those were very funny links. I had not seen them before.

Heck yeah man. I may be young (17) but I remember using Dos on my dads old machine. Man I hated 3.1 when it came out. I thought at the time it was more confusing then Dos. But times goes on...
