For beginners only
I also have extensive Unix (SCO) experience, though my Linux experience is much weaker. I have been a Novell dealer since the 80's.

We had already spent about six weeks with OES Linux. It was a rough ride (and still is a little bumpy at times). It could have been smoother had I had this book from the beginning.

Unfortunately, we had already learned most of what this book had to tell us from the school of hard knocks.

The most disappointing part was the troubleshooting section. It was limited to telling us where to find the log files--something we figured out weeks ago.

What we're hoping for is a "Mastering Novell OES Linux" that goes into each component (namcd, ndsd, nss, ldap, etc. ) and takes it apart, gives you all the gotchas and gives you possible causes when things don't go as planned.
