Can't help you with the ePO client. I've seen references to an ePO agent
for linux, but Google doesn't come up with much. Sounds like the IT
dept. wants homogeneity, which is defensible as a policy, if a little
inflexible. Would they do any better w/ Novell Linux Desktop w/ LTSP
installed?

At any rate, Novell is rapidly becoming a Linux shop, so expect to see
more Linux/Netware interoperability forthcoming (see their new server
release running on either NW or Linux, Groupwise client access w/
Evolution, etc.). Best of luck.
