Novell has invested considerable effort in identifying service coexistence and migration issues you
might face. We understand, however, that we can’t anticipate every combination of services that you
might have. Therefore, we intend to continue developing coexistence and migration information.
For information about coexistence of OES 2 servers with existing NetWare and Linux networks, see
Chapter 8, “Migrating and Consolidating Existing Servers and Data,” on page 75 .
