They've got a lot of very good apps (about 40,000+) that run on this platform. The Applications they host are the best thing Uniware brings to the party. Most of them will port to Linux without a lot of fus. TUX was the best thing they had, but isn't this already on Linux?
Some of the NetWare pieces (they have a better server than MARS-NWE) would move over nicely. Their kernel, as you probably know, is slot based and is different from Linux, but Linux is smaller, cleaner, more intuitive, and easier to work on.
