Like, did you know this is what they took from us? These titlebars you can almost feel with your fingers... This smell of a cup of Java in the mornings. Dockable windows and bars. Buttons that are obviously buttons (and not "wow might be a href over img element"), that are obviously enabled (or obviously not)

Novell Netware file browser is very minimalist. SYS: it says.
I installed the OS on a fresh disk, so the folders are only system components. I have no idea what is it even in there. So exciting.
@nina_kali_nina Is is actually a Java desktop?
(Because well… Sun called Gnome 1.x-2.x a Java desktop for purely branding reasons)

So, Novell Netware 5 is an absolutely cursed operating system. As far as I can tell, it boots Caldera DOS as a stage-0, then goes into NWSERVER kernel that uses its own everything, and from there boots a JAVA shell, and from there there's an init also presumably in Java, that starts binaries for X-for-NW, IceWM-for-NW and, if I were to believe Novell's docs, a Java-based desktop. It definitely looks and feels like Java.
Java OS that I did not know existed
