Novell is a Network Operating System [NOS] and is used in a client/server network [as opposed to the peer to peer networks that most people setup in their home]. It is installed on a computer [server] and that computer cannot be used to run your typical applications ... all it does is the task of being a server. The other computers [clients] need to have a client software installed. Then, when the 'Win9x' boots up, there will be a login screen, username and password are entered, the win 9x client PC then has access to some files/folders on the server. It's possible to limit certain folders or other areas of the server to some users depending on their rights. Novell is used for very large networks ... ex. 1000's of users would not be uncommon but could be used with as little as two users ... even one for that matter ... although that would not be likely.
