I got one fact I definitely need to get straight.  Novell 6.0 on a 
PII-300 w/ 256MB of RAM is dog slow when you run the Java desktop.  It 
was slow from command line too, but not as much.   It is probably the 
Java that makes it slow, but what is the good of having a GUI config 
tool when the whole desktop freezes up on you.  Granted this machine 
just met the minimum specs, but I can have a BETTER Linux desktop on the 
same hardware, running MORE services.  Two words: Kernel Tuning.  Two 
more: XFCE 4.0  Just had to throw that out there.  Hell, my firewall is 
a P-166 w/ 64MB Ram and a 1-2GB drive and it responds faster and runs 
more services than that Novell server I set up.  Hell of a lot more 
user-friendly too.
