NetWare Application Support
Although application support will always be a topic of much debate, the reality is that third-party application support for NetWare is not nearly at the same level as it is for the Windows server platforms. NetWare would even have a hard time competing against Linux in this respect. However, many applications are available for NetWare, and you are likely to have a choice of applications for any given purpose.
Even though third-party support might be lacking, the applications included with the NetWare package provide many of the commonly desired network services. This includes a DHCP server, a DNS server, and a Web server application, as well as a range of other services.
