HI,
In what sense connect ? If you mean to share files you would normally use nfs for this between two linux boxes. You need to install the nfs-utils rpm (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/nfs-utils-0.3.1-13.7.2.1.i386.rpm) on both boxes and then set up the shared directories with 'exportfs' , etc. See the redhat docs -->
Other than that you can use ssh or telnet to get a console session on the 'other' box or a ftp server to exchange files. It all depends on what you want to do really...
Or did you mean how do you make the basic networking connection ?
Hope this helps

We are running a novell setup. We have about 1,000 or more computers connecting to several servers with Novell CLient. Depending on what campus we are in, we setup that computer to Login by choosing what tree:context: and server we are logging into. What we are trying to do, is basically the same with this workstation and server. I want to turn my computer on and login to the server (linux server). Do you know what i am asking? I want to be able to setup a server with programs and be able to share with many computers as possible.
With Novell and Linux, 'Logon' is a completely different philosophy. You do not 'Login' to a Linux server with a client like you do with Novell.
I am not sure if I am going to explain this correctly or not. I am a CNE and have been working with Linux for about 6 months now and you are getting to the area that I am just now starting to explore.
You can connect to a Linux server via telnet, ftp, ssh, nfs, and other possible ways but you will not connect to it as a drive letter by default. We are currently looking to use Linux as a file and print server, it will not be serving apps. To do the file sharing we purchased Novell NFS to import a Linux file system as a drive letter. Printing we are just now looking at.
Are you attempting to replace your Novell environment with Linux?
