I unstalled the SUSE linux about 10 days ago, but have only had a chance to look at it over the last three days. I managed to configure a network card and can use the machine as a web server, accessible from anywhere on the school network. I have installed the netware client and have now managed to access my files from the linux box. I have connected to a netware printer queue using a linux supplied driver ( chosen from the list ) and have printed successfully. Ihave installed applix Officeware ( I await a Star Office CD - a free office suite from Sun, available for Win 9* or Linux). Once Star is installed on Linux and Win 9* I shall have a completely transparent system - pupils will be able to use Linux or Windows with no difference (assuming Star Office stores in a common file format for each platform). The only job left is to find a way for users to access their email - we use mercry and Pegasus, which puts the email directly into their filespace. This shouldn't be too difficult ( I hope). Not bad for only a few days work. Really pleased with myself!! Chris Chris Davies Head of IT Epsom College College Road Epsom Surrey KT17 4JQ tel.: 01372 821178 fax.: 01372 821005
