Re: Novell and XP Home?
Sorry all. In an attempt to keep my post brief, I guess I left out too many details.
Basically, I assume that I will need to go through the network somehow to gain internet access. I've been told that they have a T1 line and I've noticed that others have to log off before the server can be shut down at the end of the day. I don't need any access to the network otherwise, and from my observations most employees aren't accessing anything network specific either.
I'm getting a new notebook specifically for this job and just wanted to make sure I was straight on which OS to go for. I've noticed most come standard with XP Home and didn't know if I should u/g to Pro.
Thanks to all of you for the responses and references. I'll check them out. |

| If all you need is Internet access you probably just need authorization from a proxy server. Meaning that you may have to configure your web browser with the proxy server information. As long as you don't need to access Novell file servers and possibly print you probably don't need the client. Even if you do need to access the file servers and print there are usually ways around installing the Novell client.
