We have decided to go with Novell for all of our Servers (and
subsequently Desktops). However, before the SLES10 upgrade, our SLES9
servers seemed to work wonderfully as an NFS Servers, although we were
using Fedora as the Desktop OS (except for 2 Gentoo Boxes).

We are currently on hold for upgrading 3 of our labs to SLED10 because
of this issue. For now we are hobbling along with the one lab we
already upgraded to SLED10 by simply having the boxes autologin locally
and using Samba shares for sharing files.

Kind of off the subject, but do you know if Open Enterprise Server
provides a better way to share files across Unix Machines that is NOT
Samba or NFS ?
