Mr. DJBEINO - It appears that Novell is having problems with their Netware 5 beta...hope their release date doesn't slip. From the article: "...When I went to install this beta on a 166-MHz Pentium, with 32 Mbytes of RAM, it was so slow as to be almost impossible to use..." <clip> "...These glitches aren't unexpected-but they raise questions about when NetWare 5 will ship..." Dodn't expect a summer release. Based on their track record, they will be lucky to release this version before 4th Qtr 1998. Will this be early enough to compete with the delayed release of Windows 98? It appears to this investor that Novell is a 1999 story not a 1998 turnaround. Unless there is some "other" stellar product we are not aware of. EKS
