We’re almost done moving from nw65 to sles/oes. Only have 4 nw65 boxes left, and they should be gone in the next week or two. Just removed edir from the server that was the CA, SLP, master replica and time server for my tree for the past 7-10 years…sigh – Stevo ---

Understand the feeling. I just finished last Tuesday doing this for a small school campus. SLES/OES is nice. Unfortunately, now I’m looking for another job.

Just migrated data/email from one this last weekend, so it’s just sitting for now.

One is still our primary file store, the other is a VM that acts as a failover in case the main file store goes tango uniform. For our usage case there really is NO reason, zero, zip, nada to change it. I assume that someday there will be a serious client issue that will be a downer which is the only reason I am even pondering the move. In any case, I’ve waited this long I’m hoping SLES/OES whatever it’s called these days will be well sorted out by now to make a decent replacement. The whole OES thing doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies (still unsure of Novell’s committment to it) so I may replace it with SuSE and be done with it. ---

Just started putting it into production. Netware 6.5 until now…so this is my first OES Linux experience. Two OES 11 servers running at the moment. By next week I should have all services moved off of my main nw server and I can redeploy the hardware as another OES 11 server. Ken ---

We’re a mix of oes2sp3 & oes11. Went w/ oes2 for many servers as some services would not migrate from nw65 to oes11. Plus we’re still running gw7, so some parts of that simply would not install on oes11. – Stevo ---
