The novell stuff that comes with RH5.0 does work, I work in a Win95/Novell
environment and my workstation is Redhat 5.0 with Applixware and PostGres.
the Novell stuff works great, SAMBA works great, and more and more people
in that office are looking at RH5.0 as a viable option to get away from
the dreaded GPF.
