This section addresses the differences between Linux and NetWare. The audience for this section is mainly administrators who are familiar with DHCP on NetWare and intend to move to the new solution on OES 2 Linux.
In OES 2.0 Linux, there is a new iManager plug-in to manage DHCP objects. This plug-in lets you manage the new and existing eDirectory objects with ease.
