As far as NetWare on UNIX anymore, unless the company is only using one
unix machine on their network or something like that, it's likely that
they will now use UnixWare.  Not that it is overly relevant, but I read
a couple months ago that Novell bought UNIX from AT&T and now owns all
of the rights to AT&T's UNIX.  They almost immediately released its unix
network (gee, that took some work I bet ;) called UnixWare.
