I am still comfortable with our Novell 3.12 - It really is a bulletproof
system, and since I am familiar with it, easy to use. I have looked at NT
server, and it does seem the modern version of a network OS. Definitely
move to NT Workstation though - 3.11 is a pain, as has been mentioned.

I like the integration of NT too, but the comments about the Microsoft
monopoly are relevant. There is now out a NT internet server that will
allow you to serve WWW pages and integrate directly to your ODBC
databases too - a very nice feature, since we are trying to be an
information provider.
