Swinburne senior systems administrator for IT services, Brian Habel, said the IT staff are very excited by Novells Linux strategy as it opens up a lot of opportunities. If you can run NetWare on Linux you can leverage other [Linux] applications, he said. We may already have Linux boxes installed so we could re-use that hardware. Novells SuSE Linux will give us more flexibility to get the job done."

if you want to throw rocks, please go back to slashdot where you belong. We don't need you here. We don't want you here. There's a reason we stay away from /., and you're it. This is the third article that you've had to post this non-sense on. Choose one: a) grow up, b) go away. I can get curly quotes out of OpenOffice.org, too. -havoc

It doesn't really matter that most popular browsers show symbols undefined in iso-8859-1 as corresponding symbols from win-1252 character set. The same logic is used by webmasters creating MSIE-only sites. Standard HTML is a better solution than writing HTML for specific browsers that are considered popular among the intended audience.
Unconfirmed statements that somebody is using Microsoft products are indeed unnecessary on this site, and so are words like "dude".

LinuxWorld is using Microsoft products and you are cut-and-pasting fromPenguin power may rule in Vic classrooms (LinuxWorld)
them. I can tell because there are way too many question marks in this:
Brian Habel, said the IT staff are ?very excited? by Novell?s Linux
strategy as it ?opens up a lot of opportunities?. ?If you can run
NetWare on Linux you can leverage other [Linux] applications,? he
said. ?We may already have Linux boxes installed so we could
re-use that hardware. Novell?s SuSE Linux will give us more
flexibility to get the job done.?"
Dude. Quit yer bitchin'. I'm running Mozilla on Linux with the freakin' Microsoft Font pack installed (via SuSE), and I am not seeing any question marks.Penguin power may rule in Vic classrooms (LinuxWorld)
Actually, if the quotes from win-1252 character set are used, the charset should be set to win-1252, not iso-8859-1. Better yet, the text should be converted from win-1252 to HTML entities. GNU recode can be used for that.

If you can run NetWare on Linux you can leverage other [Linux] applications ?? Can someone educate me on the entire point of NetWare and a "Novell" network wrt Linux boxes? e.g. why not just use NFS or export X displays?
