Qwiksand & Thread:

I'm about to upgrade a small office file server (1 server, 4pc's & 2 printers). Only need the server for central data storage (and backup) and printing. NO e mail or internet connection at this time (but possible in two years).

Our outside IT consultant has been too busy so I'm about to take the plunge.

I've narrowed the choice between Gateway or Dell for the server.

My concern is with the software. We presently have netware 3.12. I want something that is easy to install and configure (I've been spoiled by windows vs. the dos commands).

Has anyone installed NT4 or Netware 5? and can you give me your thoughts on the installation? Is netware 5 as easy as installing a cd and answering prompts? I can get NT4 installed by either company and have 30 days installation support. At this point in time & not sure if I want NT.

If we could wait till February I'd wait till win2000 but due to y2k and other issues (we have an old alr 486 66mhz with 1gig hard drive) where we outgrew the system a year ago.

Thanks in advance.

Tim
