Not even the articles from the webpage you've linked talks about "...big computers (servers) [...] with dumb terminals" nor that the concept of client/server is
> The core concept is that you only have 1 computer, the host. [...] On users' desks they have just terminals, which are not computers
Opposite of what you write the linked page starts with
"In a client-server system, a large number of personal computers communicate with shared servers on a local area network" and later explicitly lists
continues with references to Microsoft (N)OS.
And then the refecence from NOS leeds us to
"There are only a few popular choices – Novell, UNIX, Linux, and Windows. The complexity of NOS forces a simple overview of the features and benefits."
So I don't really understand what you point that Netware neither was a file-- nor a print-server.
- lproven 2y agoXENIX was neither a file nor print server. Not Netware. Netware 1/2/3 was nothing but a file and print server, and Netware >=4 was a notably poor app server.
