Before you proceed any further. I'd suggest to take a step back and start documenting your processes and use-cases. If you're currently using a homegrown solution chances are good that there are many "non-standard" specifics in your processes which aren't handled in standard off-the-shelf software. So, when choosing a solution you should look at your processes/use-cases and for each possible candidate determine if a candidate software can handle it or how much customization would be needed to make it fit. Only then you can realistically estimate the cost of each canditate and therefore make an informed decision. Optionally invite consultants for the various candidates (be it open source or commercial) telling them you're planning to migrate away from your current system and you want an offer from them. They'll work out the many details in your processes with you to be able to make an offer and whether you accept their offer or not you will have much more information of what's really going on in your company.
It also provides a standalone command line tool (findup) generating text output you can process later on with a little bit of scripting. With this tool I've been able to process about a TB of data in a reasonable amount of time.
I'd recommend Kir Bulychev (his website in russian) or Kir Bulytschow (german). At least to the russian or german speaking folks of us as I can't find any english versions of his books which is too bad since I really loved them when I was young. Especially Die lila Kugel (The violet sphere) was one I devoured (just grabbed a used copy at Amazon - so, thanks for reminding me of my childhood).

In addition, today disk space is so cheap that, if you are installing from CD, you should just install everything that doesn't conflict and let people remove later. Don't give them a lot of questions to answer.
Sounds like you've never tried to setup a secure server...

If you are on a supported platform you could have been using w3m. With it you could have the wonderful experience of editing textareas with your favourite editor (which is emacs of course;-).
sorry, it's not gcc's fault that there "coders" out there cannot code. sure, it's true that with gcc (and any c compiler) you can produce code that contains buffer overruns. but that's just one reason why you should switch your mind on *before* you start coding. there are are thousands of other reasons. don't blame c and gcc.

yeah, i know. and it's not gcc's fault that there are posters out there that cannot post.
with the first sentence i meant:
sorry, it's not gcc's fault that there *are* "coders" out there *which* cannot code.
