Thanks for the suggestion! :-) Best regards, Bob Russell kc8chq@juno.com Micro$oft, what do you want to spend today? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If Microsoft built Cars: 1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car. 2. Frequently your car would die on the freeway for no reason and you'd have to restart. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this and drive on. 3. Occasionally, your car would stop and refuse to start, and you'd have to reinstall the engine. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this and drive on. 4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a Car 95 or a Car NT. But then you'd have to buy more seats. 5. Apple would make a Macintosh car that was powered by the sun, was twice as fast, ans twice as easy to drive - but it would only run on 5% of the roads. 6. But the Macintosh car owners could get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make them run much slower. 7. The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning lights would be all replaced by a single "general car fault" warning light. 8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size posterior. 9. The airbag system would say, "Are you sure?" before going off. 10. When you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea afterwards what had happened. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we're getting there. If the PHBs at your site insist on NT, you can go behind their back and install linux, making the rest of the LAN believe they're seeing an NT box (keyword: samba)

One fine source of references is <A HREF="http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt.html"><A HREF="http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt.html</A">http://www.kirch.net/unix-nt.html. I especially like the article at <A HREF="http://citv.unl.edu/linux/LinuxPresentation.html"><A HREF="http://citv.unl.edu/linux/LinuxPresentation.html</A">http://citv.unl.edu/linux/LinuxPresentation.html, which describes a sysadmin's Novell through NT to Linux migration.
