This article in LinuxWorld was published soon after HP announced that they were discontinuing OpenMail.
The premise of the author is that "HP refused to market OpenMail energetically as an Exchange replacement because it was more interested in protecting its relationship with Microsoft"
While there are plenty of Open Source programs that do what Exchange does, Exchanges wraps them up into one central program and for me that's a feature.
I think that if you want to kick MS out of the server room, than a Open Source "Exchange Killer" needs to be developed. Until that time it may be worth it for the community to promote OpenMail.
Sorry dude. I have done tens of Solaris installs both Sparc and x86. I have never had a problem doing an install. You can do gui or text based installs, choose minimum config or the whole thing, select or de-select packages as you see fit. If your in it for the technology and not the karma than Solaris is the way to go.
On the other hand when I tried to install Debian I got stopped at can't find "/images-1.44/compact/rescue.bin" even though I was installing from a bootable cd-rom.
In newspaper-land entertainment and scandal is more important than the truth. Hence no one cares what the truth is as long as there is a good guy and a bad guy that's enough. Even if the truth is the good guy is bad, and the perceived bad guy is good.
In our case saying all is wonderful in open source land doesn't get you mouse clicks. So you create a "scoop" and post it on yahoo.
when I started working in HiTech a friend told me the following. " always be friendly w/ your co-workers and keep the peace. The HiTech world is small and you never know who will be your next boss, emplyee or reference."
7 years later I can't tell you how many times his advice has proved true.
I also tried to make the switch. when installing from a bootable CD i kept on getting "can't find/images-1.44/compact/rescue.bin " the fact that rescue.bin was on the cd and i put it on a floppy didn't seem to impress Debian.
btw 2 years ago i took a generic laptop (Twinhead Slimnote) and installed RH 6.2 w/ no hardware problems i am sure the latest RH versions support the hardware in the laptop of your choice.

" Ameritrade, one of the largest online brokerages, provides its primary web access through Linux--a substantial commitment given its 1.5M clients execute over 100K trades per day, for which security is an absolute. Ameritrade is also one of the fastest-loading homepages on the Web."
a netcraft query shows they are running
Server: Stronghold/3.0 Apache/1.3.12 C2NetEU/3011 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.6.4 OpenSSL/0.9.5a mod_perl/1.22
sounds like they still have some linux left in them.

VP is a rather ineffective role.
Two words: Gerald Ford
maybe try Lyndon Johnson. Gerald Ford never campained or was elected as VP. He was appointed per the 25th Amendment.
That has to be the most offensive thing I have ever read.
