"Among their reasons are inadequate support options, application compatibility issues, stability problems, and the added cost of troubleshooting."
maybe they should stop trying to convert their windows admins into linux admins. linux isn't something that can be learned in a one week training camp. most of the enterprise level linux admins i've met are lacking in the experience dept. would it be so hard as to actually hire experienced *nix admins for these positions?
the other week i got my hands on a hp thinstation. it has 1gig tm proc, 256mb ram, and 192mb flash drive on it. since constantly writing to flash is a bad idea i setup the system as follows:
boots from flash w/ 2 options. i setup a small, very stripped slackware distro on the flash that mounts/var/log and/tmp in 2 ramdisks that are 64mb each. the other option is boots, but uses a custom initrd i setup that mounts everything over nfs and boots a full distro. i use the mini system for a small box to plug into networks for troubleshooting, etc and i use the nfs distro for home use. it is a little slow if you try to boot x.org, but i never do so its fine. you may want to set something like this up on your floppy. you would just need a supported usb key 128-512mb to put all of the os stuff on and the floppy to boot from. also, you may want to look into pxe booting an image onto it. i had to use pxe to boot the slackware install on the box since it has so cdrom or floppy...good luck
it looks fine to me. i mean it is in the basement on a wall with no drywall. why waste your money/time (time = money so money2) on building a cabinet now? if i were you i'd just get some zip ties and booze.

does this mean that they could create an atomic weapon from a bunch of these atoms all put together? say they make enough of these atoms to make a ball of them that weighed a few pounds, but took one of them and made it split. would this make all of the atoms split at the same time or would the other atoms split at all?
i hope everyone with sco shares that hasn't already realized that the company is going down the tubes should sell their share asap. i can't believe this company even thought they could pull this kind of crap. further more i can't believe i work for a company that gave them money, but to be fair the word was never really leaked from mgmt that we paid their ransom money. we learned of this the same way everyone else did.../.

Don't say something like that. You're going to start an endless thread of "Back in my days we used [ancient technology] and liked it"... "Yes, but when I was young, we used [even more ancient technology]!"

Technology? You had TECHNOLOGY? Why you kids got it easy, WE didn't have technology, no sir! Why, first we had to walk UP-hill, 83 miles, to the sacred valley, then we had to get naked, smear ourselves with cowdung and ashes, eat magic mushrooms and DREAM about technology! That's all WE Had, and we LIKED IT!
microsoft should stop being such fucking jews about their software. by not allowing pirated versions of windows to not be able to update with windows update they are just helping these type of problems. i have always ran pirated versions of windows at HOME, but work is a total different story. i am mainly a *nix person, but lately i have been dealing with ms more and more. i can tell you that they get their money, they should stop bitching. they make so much money off this crappy software that breaks all the time, and the users just accept it. thats the only thing i dislike about ms. i believe its a good desktop OS, but thats it. server world should be left to the real os's. anyways. thats my 2 cent.
