windows 2000 versus netware 6

Need a bit more information as to what you mean by this.
NDPS - Novell's printer/copier management system has been supplanted by iPrint in NW6 and works very well. Nothing beats iFolder and NSS for user doc control and storage management.
Give more info and I'll answer more fully.

Most external components (copiers, printers etc.) work well with Netware and in many instances are easier to maintain and manage in Netware. Network storage devices must be designed for Netware but most good ones are. Remember, Novell has been designing networking much longer than Microsoft and has been doing it better. Microsoft requires much more hardware and much larger servers or more servers to support the clients that can be supported on on Netware server, especially if you are running exchage or client server apps such as citrix. My preference is to have a robust network with multiple servers of both Novell and Microsoft doing what they do best. Microsoft is a very good client server but nobody does file serving better than Novell.
