For the tasks and exercises described in this guide, you will need the following:

• A Linux server that meets the following requirements:
  • Is a server-class computer
  • Has at least a Pentium* II processor (Pentium 4 at 1.5 GHz recommended)

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1

  • Complies with the Linux installation requirements specified in Follow the Server Installation Requirements
  • Has the gettext RPM installed
  • Has an active IP connection to your lab network and the Internet

• If you intend to test Novell iPrint, you will need a printer with an assigned static IP address and a connection to your lab network.
• For iPrint testing you will also need a printer driver for the printer for your Windows* workstation type (next item).
• To test iPrint or the GroupWise^® Collaboration Client, you will need one or more Windows workstations with Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or later installed and running one of the following operating systems:
  • Windows XP
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows NT* 4
  • Windows 95/98/ME

  IMPORTANT:  If you plan to test the GroupWise client, you must ensure that the Windows workstations do not have a GroupWise client installed. Having a client installed will invalidate the installation instructions in this guide.

  If you remove a client from a workstation, you must also delete the Novell directory usually located at the root of the local hard drive with all its subdirectories and files.
