- Agreed. Netware is an OS.
-
- Now, I'm sure that most people would agree that comp.os.netware makes
- more sense for at least two reason; Novell has its fingers in more
- pies than just netware, netware is an OS. Does it make sense to break
- the hierarchy into:
-
- comp.os.netware: Articles dealing with Netware as a whole, the product
- line, CNE/CNA certification, ...
-
- comp.os.netware.2x Articles dealing with Netware version 2.15, 2.2, ...
- comp.os.netware.3x Articles dealing with Netware version 3.1, 3.11, ...
-
- And is there room in this hierarchy for a
- comp.os.netware[.???].programmer? (E.G. comp.os.netware.2x.programmer,
- comp.os.netware.3x.programmer. Or perhaps only comp.os.netware.programmer?)
- while the changes are being made?
