How is software amortised in your shop? What kind of percentage of costs
w.r.t. general operating costs does it make out? In big shops, it may be
a small part and then there is no real incentive to cut these costs. I
converted our 9 servers to SUSE, because we are a very small shop of 30
people. We have 2 DRBD and Heartbeat HA clusters, which would be quite
expensive for us on an equivalent MS base. I am now using OpenSUSE 10.2,
and looking at converting some SLES 9 servers also to OpenSUSE 10.2.
DRBD works quite well on SUSE 10.0 since Feb 2006.
