    Linux doensn't have a UI, to speak of. It's a Freakin' kernel. ;-)

    MBA's are not busu=iness experts. UI folks are engaged in a behavioral science, with blind-studies and metrics. MBA's saw the "Internet phenomenon", and with their "expertise" created the dot-com bubble.

    That takes board members.

    Believe me, none of these guys have a national allegiance worth mentioning. How do you think all these Corps are governed by Bermuda and Costa Rica, anyway? Of course, shareholders (you and me) are part of the problem, too. Gotta have a return on our own investments, and won't stand for anything that works towards the long-term economic health of the nation, if it affects dividends or short-term pricing.

    Yeah - but we arene't sending 10+ MBPS 802.3 signal, either.

    Powerline networking is using live, unshielded, untwisted electric wiring as a collision-tolerant physical medium to trancieve the equivalent of 802.11 datagrams...

    It's "wired" wireless - for the scenario in question.

    You need a home powerline network!

    The MacWireless Powerline Network Adapter allows you to route your network through the electrical lines in your home or office. With speeds up to 10 times faster than DSL, this is a great way to get your ethernet network to other floors or rooms in your building, without the need to run wires. Powerline Network Adapters are particularly useful when concrete, metal, or other obstructions in the walls of your home or office block your wireless signals.

    CALs (Client Acces Licenses) are priced differently with 2003.

    Owning a 2000 WS or XP Pro license no longer counts as a server CAL for 2003 - you need also to buy a CAL for that station, on top of OS price.

    That said, 2003 is definitely what 2000 was supposed to be. You are worried about service packs? I would look at 2003 as the 3rd rev of 2000. The directory scales better times 1000 - and is massively more flexible in configuration, especially if you are interoperationg with non-MS Kerberos realms. Plus, you get ADAM, constrained and granular delegation of Kerb IDs, a built-in firewall, etc.

    Really, it's hard to know where to start on the advantages.

    Well clippy now has "Ports"!

    Checkout the NetBSD pkgsrc pages and notice the bootstrap package for 'Interix 3.5". That is SFU 3.5 to the rest of the world.

    Now you can:

    Prerequisites will be automatically retrieved and installed if they are available in the same remote directory.

    Packages are installed by default into /usr/pkg.
    You should ensure that /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin are in your PATH variable (best set in /etc/csh.cshrc).
