SAMBA implements the SMB protocal (also known as LanManager or
Netbios) over TCP/IP.  Although I am not familiar with Netware,
I am under the impression that it does not support SMB or TCP/IP.
Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of Netware could clarify
this.

I have used SAMBA quite extensively on BSDI 2.1 allowing
Win95 and WinNT machines access to my BSDI server.
I am quite sure that it would also work well with OS/2, and
have also heard reports that Windows for Workgoups can be
patched to support TCP/IP, and therefore be compatable with
SAMBA.

SAMBA has proven to be very functional (Printer & File sharing
with user level access) and very robust - yet to have it crash
or cause any problems.
