I have setup a FBSD server during As others mentioned Samba doesn't do IPX (what netware uses). If all you are looking for is a way to do file sharing then FreeBSd+Samba will do. In addition if the school was willing to pay money to get netware then I would recommend Netmax. It is basically a web interface on top of FreeBSD, Samba, DNS and a number of other programs. Makes things much easier. Check the demo at www.netmax.com I have one box running it, but I am waiting for a SDSL line to put it in production. Also the tech support for the product and all the people at the company are really great.
