the value is the continuation of those enterprise class services
that still run networks, and they are added capabilities to what
exists in a straight Linux stack.”While OES provides a lifeline for NetWare users, NetWare itself

Germanides said Novell has extended the support lifecycle for
NetWare through September 2013.
