Yeah.. :-) I saw this. Microjunk. :-) I'm finishing up a project at work. It probably cost $25k to package it for my employer and then document and train people. I'm ALMOST done. When I'm done, I'm taking TEN days off and going shooting with my brother!

But anyway...the project is totally supported by Linux (Debian Stable to be specific) on a dual CPU IBM server....the exact specs of which escape me at the moment.

The equivalent Microsoft solution would have cost $60k for software ALONE, and quite possibly wouldn't have run on the (slightly aged) server I used.

I've been doing things like this since 1996 and people keep asking me why I won't use Microsoft. I ask them to give me a reason and so far, nobody comes up with any good reasons...so I continue to be a Linux, SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX (rather not HP-UX though!), FreeBSD, OpenBSD geek. :-)

Hey man...good to hear from you...things slowed down yet? :-)
