Well, that's good to know.  I knew that they were licensed per each
user, but I made the assumption that you could also only have x
instances of a server, as well, as that's typical.

And distributed applications are good, but is application selection
similar to that of other operating systems?  I know it certainly was
very limited what you could do with a Novell server.

However, I still maintain that it's not software that I would use.  That
there are others that would like to move away from it, well, I can't say
as though I could blame them.  I didn't like it much myself when I
interacted with it.
