Back story:
I'm in an Operating Systems/Administrating class this semester. We pretty much didn't use the book, as the professor didn't like it. So we've just been doing mini-projects all semester. So, now with two classes to go, we have a big project to do, and no one is sure of how to do it. It's a "final project", and it involves everyone working on the same project.
So what is the project?
We've all been given a PC and we've loaded it with an OS. Here's the break down:
2x Fedora Core 1
2x Novell Netware 6.0
3x Win 2k3 server
The goal of the project is to get "as far as possible." in three classes. Seriously, that's what we were told, and the professor walked out, said she'd be back next week to see what we did and give us grades accordingly .
So, we're all pretty much lost. There's 7 of us in the class (one person per computer). So far, what we have done was installed the OSes and setup our IP scheme; that's it.
We have _no_ clue really where to go from here. Being that we've had only one other actual grade in the course, I believe this project is going to be a signifigant portion of it.
What do you guys suggest we do? Also, none of us have any real background with Netware, so anything we want to do we'll need help with . I've looked through our book, but I can pretty easily see why she doesn't like it - seems like it was written for a 6 year old.
So, I decided I'd write to you guys to see if any gurus out there can point us in a right direction with ideas, and if possible, links for help . I have the class again tonight at 1630 EST, then only one more next wednesday same time. Any help before then would be greatly appreciated.
