About Novell Nterprise Linux Services 1.0

Novell Nterprise Linux Services (NNLS) 1.0 is Novell's first services suite for the Linux platform. It includes a number of powerful network services that organizations will find very useful. These services are summarized in Services to Network Users.

NNLS 1.0 doesn't include all of the network services that are traditionally part of a NetWare® release. Novell plans to provide a common set of services on both Linux and NetWare in the future.
