A Case for Linux in the Corporation

_UnderTow_ writes: "Saw this over at Anandtech. It's a pretty descriptive account of a reasonably large corporation (7000+ employees) transitioning their network infrastructure over to Red Hat Linux. Has details of the company's initial move to NT, and their eventual move to Linux as the cost of licensing gets out of control."

Although I will agree with you that 2000 to XP is mostly fluff, you're entirely off-base with your assumption of NT 4.0 to 2000/XP. Security is provided if you'll configure it on all 3 platforms, and Active Directory is a paradigm shift that improves functionality and scalability in 2000/XP. In short, you're making a large mistake by staying with NT 4.0 when 2000 has so much more to offer. XP and .NET will be bad news for licensing... you should get in on 2000 while there's still time. But hey, you've already made up your mind what you're going to do. Have fun with linux.
