That would make the system 5 years old! Of course they don't have a problem getting rid of it. It's very likely been replaced with it that old! Have you heard of TIA? (run by the NSA)
All this sounds like to me is a consulting engagement to scrub the data, insert it into a new system and announce to the public that they are shutting down the system as a PR move.
With HP having the largest of the commercial x86 business(they lean toward RedHat) and the general feeling about novell being one of 'don't want it in the environment'(Suse) with larger companies Red Hat is your best bet.
With it you will have all of the skills you need to support other distros and a certification that show you know it.
It sure takes away the "We're enriching uranium for clean nuclear power" argument if we can deliver one of these and say, "Here use this till you get your other industries on your feet."
Of course they will compare it to "Linux" but what distro? The Red Hat releases (most prevalent in US datacenters) come out of the gate with 0 ports open and having to turn anything you want on.
This is going to be a difficult sell.
Wouldn't a good start be to ping sweep windows machines first with "Safe Scans" on,
Then
Take a look at the services running on the unix machines to give you a good idea of where your worst vulnerabilities are there.
Then categorize in order of importance: example: financial, HRdata, ordering,..... pc's
If you have segmented your pcs away from your production service env they can come last or be handled by the desktop group
From a purely scientific standpoint even if you figure out the odds, the chances of spontaneoous life are overwhelmingly in favor of life.
Question to ponder: How many "big bangs" were there before this most recent one? -or- how many big bangs have occured in the last 5 minutes? (so far away that they are undetectable?) Probably an infinate amount.
In an infinately long living universe the time from one "big bang" to the next is infinately small. The fact that life sprung up somewhere is incredibly probable even if it happen only once every 2trillion big bangs.
This is incorrect:
I am a technical analyst for a corporation that supports approx 6000+ users on our local corp. campus here in Columbus, Ohio and we host 1 of the most bandwidth intensive net events online every year.
I have recently completed a study of IM client server technologies with a specific focus on management of this traffic. (Logging: users, sessions, bandwidth usage etc, Rules based content / connectivity management and more)
In the course of this study and report I found several solutions to your problem and that of many corporations.
Take a look at www.akonix.com
they provide a cost effective solution to your problem. There are many more but this one seems to be the most full featured.

Aren't most of the ISPs (roadrunner) blocking smtp traffic from non-static addresses? I would imagine that this cuts down on the majority wouldn't it?
I have always wanted to post a note with "Total Perspectve Vortex" as the subject. Thank God for this topic! -Fairy Cake anyone?

Awwww.. I was hoping that AMD would avoid this. Everything sun touches anymore pretty much turns to poo... and I liked having AMD around...
