I have been hoping Novell would swoop in and make eDirectory as easy
to get going as Active Directory...
http://www.novell.com/products/openworkgroupsuite/ would be a great
competitor to MS...

Unfortunately I'm still waiting though...the last time I installed
SLES 10 SP1 it was a complete train wreck to just get the basic
equivalent of Small Business Server going (note: I'm not a Novell "old
hand" so I was expecting pretty GUI wizard to ask "Do you want to set
up a single sign on server with eDirectory? Yes? OK) and bam
eDirectory is setup. This was not the case...

Anyone on this list have experience with Novell's Linux platform that
has any input?
