1.7 What Training Is Available?

Here are some of the avenues you can use to get the training you need:

1.7.1 Novell Training Services

Novell certification and training options change periodically as new needs are identified and courses are developed. To learn more about these and other training options, visit the OES Novell training Web site at www.novell.com/training.

1.7.2 Complimentary Free Training

For a good introduction to OES, see Bridging NetWare Skills to Novell Open Enterprise Server for Linux

To help you get started with OES and Linux, Novell also provides some training material at no cost on the Web.

1.7.3 Product Documentation

Yes, the old adage is true: If all else fails, read the documentation. This document contains numerous cross-references to sections relative to a specific topic or service. If you can't find what you need on Novell's documentation site, add a comment, tell us what we missed, and we'll see that you get the answer you need. Open Enterprise 2 documentation is available at the following URL: http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/index.html.

One especially useful guide for those who are transitioning from NetWare to OES and Linux is the OES2 SP3: Linux Tips for NetWare Administrators guide. Novell partner BrainStorm, Inc. provides a printed Administrator’s Command Reference card based on the tips guide; it shows common NetWare commands and their OES/Linux counterparts. This reference card is nicely formatted and very helpful in bridging the gap between NetWare and OES/Linux commands.

And finally, Novell also publishes all of the SLES 10 documentation on the Web.
