That _IFF_ is not only non-trivial technically, but also not not-trivial financially! You but one cheap PC or a hundred cheap PC's, you still have a bunch of cheap PC's. One of my favorite examples is that our company still has MS pervasively in the office and once a month we get a note from IT security to put on a patch because MS did it again. So it takes me 15 minutes, so what? Well, with 300,000 in the company, thats 75,000 MANHOURS. IT security doesn't care - the manhours doesn't come out of its budget! ===== Jim Sibley Implementor of Linux on zSeries in the beautiful Silicon Valley "Computer are useless.They can only give answers."
