At the moment all ammo I have is that Win is expensive and locks you into the Win platform (which is a point at out shop, seeing everything is already win based).
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. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
