Unfortunately, Novell's NDS stuff probably won't run on Debian.  Yes, you
can debianize the .rpms, but the installer depends on glibc versions of
stuff like termcap (which debian only provides in libc5 form, a recompile
might work) and libcurses (which could probably be taken care of by a
symlink).  IIRC, of course :)  For all I know I could be getting all that
mixed up with iPlanet's (formerly Netscape's) directory server.

I'll be honest: I wouldn't trust any of that "Enterprise" stuff to run on
any distribution other than the one it was built for: RedHat 6.x.
