Hi Jan (IF your here) & Others
I may try Linux on one workstation to see how things work.
I well soon be on Novell 6.10. I run Office 2000, Great Plains DOS
accounting packages, Dataease 5.16 DOS database, Netscape,
Pegagus email, and a assortment of other programs. I will need to
be able to login to Novell server and operate all these programs
and hopeful more. I guess, I have alot of research to do. Anybody
out there running some or all of this stuff?
Thanks
Richard F. Bolha
