Novell doesn't offer a realistic workstation solution.  Yeah, there's DRDOS, 
but who's going to run 8 bit console apps in a business?

Has anybody ever seen a network running Novell servers and some non-Microsoft 
clients like Linux or Sun?  

You can do an all-Sun network, and you can use Sun or dumb terminals off of 
*NIX servers.  Some of the stories where Linux has been instituted for 
various cities' networks have been installations where they were already 
running a propietary Unix with applications running off the server.
