Before Novell bought SuSe, they licensed AT&T SYSVr4.2, added some Novell 
core protocol drivers and software, wrapped Motif WM around it and called it 
UNIXWare. That was one of my first forays into UNIX.

I liked SuSe; I had a couple of clients back in the first dot-com boom 
running it; I was mostly a FreeBSD and RedHat guy back then.

I had a boss who thought its integration with our Novell network was nifty, 
then put it in our DMZ as a bastion host where it couldn't talk to the 
Novell network. Oops.
