[lug] OT: netware

[George Sexton]

The JVM is probably shipped on the CDROM. I see a JVM 1.4.1 update on
the Novell site for download.

So Netware is an operating system in it's own right?  It's not just a
bunch of software written on top of DOS?  I can start with an empty
drive
and install Netware?  If tomcat runs on netware, which jvm does it use?
I
don't recall ever having seen Netware as an os choice on the sun java
download pages.

I'm still trying to get my head around this.
