I'm a long time NetWare user, too. I don't have extensive experience with
MARS, but I'd test everything. Especially if you're doing more than
file/print. If you're running any database type apps, be wary of locking.
MARS may not support the full range that NetWare does, causing some apps
(like Access and FoxPro) to corrupt DBs.
Caldera had a NetWare for Linux product that emulated NetWare much more
closely, but I think that's a dead product now. Check their site:
