Not sure what you meant by a "Novell Client" for Linux. Your network is
Netware? If so, my buddies at Stanford gave me this:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/1068.html
and this
http://novelclient.sourceforge.net/
(I'm not sure if it is a Novell client or a client for reading novels.)

Good advice, there.
In addition, start checking into the following:
Desktop Linux dot com - http://www.desktoplinux.com/ - this site has some
good informaiton for beginners.
Tux Magazine - http://www.tuxmagazine.com/ - this was supposed to be a
print magazine, but turned into a PDF download. Great stuff for people
like me who haven't a clue what they're doing.
Linux Planet has some cool articles...
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/
Then there's the big red N - Novell's Cool Solutions:
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/slp/
Then there are the forums, http://www.linuxquestions.org and
