About This Guide

We plan to expand the information in this guide over time. However, it will never become a

substitute for the formal, intensive training that is required to become an efficient and successful

Linux administrator.

Audience

This guide is designed to help network administrators understand some of the similarities and

differences between NetWare®and Linux, and to begin working with OES-Linux

Feedback

We want to hear your comments and suggestions about this manual and the other documentation

included with OES. To contact us, use the User Comments feature at the bottom of any page in the

online documentation.

Documentation Updates

For the latest version of this guide, refer to the OES 2 Documentation Web site.

Documentation Conventions

In this documentation, a greater-than symbol (>) is used to separate actions within a step and items

within a cross-reference path.

A trademark symbol (®, ™, etc.) denotes a Novell®trademark. An asterisk (*) denotes a third-party

trademark.

When a single pathname can be written with a backslash for some platforms, or a forward slash for

other platforms, the pathname is presented with a forward slash to reflect the Linux convention.

Users of platforms that require a backslash, such as NetWare, should use backslashes as required by

the software.
