For all of us who love the penguin this is good news, sort of 'Big Name' validation for the scrawny little punk on the corner that may end up stealing Micos**t's lunch money. The real hurdle,as I see it, is getting admins that are NT indoctrinated to shake it off a bit and look at an alternative. If they're coming from NT, the learning curve is steep. If they come off of a Unix background it's not so bad. I'll just say this. I work for a reseller. We sell IBM servers and every single one that's come passed me got NT installed. We'll see if IBM will give this a real push ( sales training,support) or maybe they'll just drop the ball.... again
I'll be looking into this and getback in 2 days. I work for an IBM VAR and will contact 'em 10.13.99 to find out about three button possibilities with Linux.
