Provogeek: Thanks for the headups for OES11. I do have an account on novell.com as that is where I got the 5.0 to 6.5 support pack iso and exe files. I currently have a NW 5.0 CLA/MLA License diskette with Server+Unlimited Connections and a Server+ 5 Connection license diskette I have the...

Yes, I do have some experience with Linux. I have worked with Red Hat 5.2 up to Fedora 14. Even though I am a retired chemist, I have worked at IT support for 10+ years starting with MS DOS 4 up to Windows XP. I lost my job of 9 years because of my lack of an IT degree regardless of my...

Well, I like to keep Netware alive. Without it, there would an MS monopoly on NOS's which would stifle any improvements. I have never been impressed with Windoze desktops or servers which is why I am running Linux Fedora as my desktop OS. (Do you remember Windows 3.11?) MS has always done...

In response to your question: You can get the support packs off novell.com web site. You may have to create an account;but, the support packs are available.

An update: I have NW 5.0 running now and have upgraded it to recognize SATA controllers. In this case, I am using an Adaptec AAR-2810 controller and have 4 HDD's off it for 916 GB's in a RAID 5 setup and with 4 extra ports for more HDD's. I installed Support Pack 6a and the server merrily...

Well, first off there is no old NW 5 server to migrate to a new NW 6.5 server. I am doing a fresh install of NW 5 and going up in version. I am not going to use an IDE drive for the boot drive. I have installed an SCSI controller and 2-18 GB SCSI HDD's for the C: drive and the SYS volume...

In response to your questions: I have many SE7501BR2 MB's so I figured I would use one of them instead of wasting them. I have 2 of them in service now with both of them running Fedora 14 (yes, I know 14 is old). I am building this server on my own dime so cost is a big concern. I have a...

An update: I ended up buying 4 of the IDE to SATA converters and find that they are very bad. Of the 4, only 1 seemed to work about 30% of the time. When it did work, the Bios recognized the SATA drive through the converter. My judgement: the converters are a total waste. Save your money.

Hi, I am a newbie here. I have 10+ years experience with Netware starting with 286 up to 6.0. I am building a new file server and I am having a question about hardware. The MB lacks SATA ports; but, does have 2 IDE ports and a SCSI port (the MB is an Intel SE7501BR2). What I want to do is...
