An Overview of the NetWare Operating System

The NetWare operating system is designed specifically to provide service to clients over a computer network. This design has resulted in a system that differs in several respects from more general-purpose operating systems. In addition to highlighting the design decisions that have led to these differences, this paper provides an overview of the NetWare operating system, with a detailed description of its kernel and its software-based approach to fault tolerance.
