If you have no Novell dependant software, yes.
There are a few applications which rely on Novell's bindery to function
properly. If you don't known anything about this, you probably have none.
Linux Mandrake also has MARS-NWE which is a pretty good Novell Emulator for
Linux.
It emulates a Novell 3.11 server. It's a pretty good simulation/emulation
and includes limited binder support.
Using Samba is more like migrating to NT. Samba uses a form of Microsoft
Networking protocols. (no stones from the peanut gallery please...)
... which runs on TCP/IP.
Mars-NWE uses IPX, just like Netware.
Microsoft's Netware client thinks it's talking to a Novell Server, if you've
set up a Linux/Mars host...
You could also install both, and have Linux function as both types of
servers at the same time...
