Hi Peter -

I was thinking more of using it as a sort of central file server
that's accessible from home, laptop, office, client sites,
airport, and so on. You could do the same with a USB drive but
I think it would be more of a chore to keep the files in sync.

Hmm. I thought this "Q&A" from the Novell site, though
ambiguous, seemed to say NetDrive could be freely downloaded:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/999.html

Howver the licence agreement says:
"You are authorized to install and use the Software internally
within Your organization or entity in connection with Your
lawful use of Novell NetWare(r) 6 software licenses, which must
be acquired separately from the Novell NetDrive 4.0 Software. "

Bummer!
