I'm not sure whether this is the right list to make this posting and if not any 
direction to the correct list would be appreciated.

I'm currently a Debian user and love the purity of the distribution and 
especially apt-get. I'm working on a project to setup Debian servers to run NDS 
Corporate Edition for Linux as well as Zenworks for Desktops 3 (both Novell 
products). I'm an experienced user of Zenworks and love what it does for 
controlling a users Windows environment and distributing applications 
throughout our organisation. I'm now looking to setup a company where we 
replace Netware servers with Debian servers (more stable, easier to use and no 
OS licensing fee) and run NDS Corp Ed for Windows workstation authentication 
and Zenworks for Desktops 3 (and of course Samba for File and Printer serving).

Unfortunately NDS Corporate Edition for Linux and Zenworks for Desktops is only 
really supported on a Redhat Linux 6.1 or 6.2 platform. It works well on a 
Redhat platform. I've done a little bit of tinkering with the install shell 
script supplied by Novell on my Debian server but bomb out half way through. I 
can't say that I'm experienced enough with these sorts of things to be able to 
work my way through to a solution. Is there anyone out there that would be 
interested in helping me get the product to work in a Debian Linux environment. 
I'm sure there are others out there that would be interested in our results.

Obviously this software from Novell is not free. I have a trial version and 
with a little bit of help from Novell we might be able to make it work on the 
best Linux distribution. More than happy to forward the 9MB file to anyone who 
wants to help.

If there is anyone out there who would like to help please let me know. I would 
prefer to use Debian on these servers!!!

Many thanks

Craig Law
