Zenworks 3.2 and NW6.5

People have run ZFD3.x and NetWare 6.5 SP5 in the past and likely w/o too
many problems.
I'm not sure about with the latest Java updates.

It seems the ZFD3.x forums have really dried up recently with most folks
moving on so there seems to be less data to pull from.
If you are a school system, I would really recommend going to ZFD7 then.

1) Novell charges a very small sum to school systems.
2) The upgrade path from 3.x to 7.x is very easy.
