  1. Re:A catch-22. on Constructing a Windows-Less Office · · Score: 1


    It could be debated that is true. However, for now the economy is on a downturn and I am comfortable and that is enough. When the economy picks up it won't be.

    Neither proud nor ashamed. But it doesn't hurt the salary. I am a long time windows user though and am enjoying the transition to being a Linux user. The Y B in my user name stands for Why would any one want to go that route now. As of 12-31 I will be a proud FORMER MCSE.

    Thanks for asking :-)

    >>my own workstation runs NT 4.0 just fine, and any modern flavor of Linux utterly dies.

    Could it be that you are not installing properly? As an MCSE I have yet to see a hardware platform which performed better on NT 4.0 than on a good Linux install.

    As an Network Administrator (MCSE certified) my incentive for NT is currently that I do not have a strong enough grasp of Samba to replace my NT boxes for authentication from windows clients (and I have windows clients everywhere). I have replaced almost all of my application server functions with a good Unixware install (if such a beast exists) I am very pleased with Unix reliability and currently use Linux for some network monitoring. I will be replacing Exchange with a Linux based platform very soon. Happy Day!!!

    Life is like a box of chocolates....

    Too much of it will make you sick
