NetWare 6 book

[reicherb]

Can anyone recommend a good NetWare 6 book? I was looking at this one, but the customer reviews are terrible. Any suggestions? I know 5.1 pretty well (CNA) and just want to learn the new features of 6 as well as brush up on some things I might not fully understand.

Thanks.

heya reich!

I am getting a few myself soon, though i dont know why...I already have about 50% of my servers upgraded to netware-6.
If the books are goo I will let you know the ISBN's for them.

I appreciate it. I plan to upgrade to 6 in about 30 days. The only new feature I really see myself using is probably i-folder.

Let me tell ya man...I-Folder rules! it is way better than My Briefcase that I used for ever and a day.
Since it only checks for the part of a file that was changed, it doesnt have to download all that data everytime.

I'm just happy to give my users remote access to there files. I'm in a school district and sick of telling kids that they have yet another bad floppy disk and all of their work is gone.

How does the resource usage comapre to 5.1? I've got a couple of older servers that I'm a little worried about.

I didnt upgrade any hardware on any of my servers and none of them are any more stressed than before.
Resources seem to be very cleaned up with Netware 6.

That's what I like to here!

This book Mastering Netware 6 by Jame's Gaskin is ok..gives lots of insight but has a good amout of fluff as well..good amount of BS (RFCs etc...) But some concepts are thoroughly explained such as IFolder and IPrint Link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...f=sr_1_9/104-6419256-1258336?v=glance&s=books

This book by Novell Press ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...f=sr_1_1/104-6419256-1258336?v=glance&s=books ) is also helpful as well and well rounded... Both are serving me well, studying to get my CNE in 6/6.5.
