Good point! That's like how my former employer (BAE Systems) relied for sales on those who NEEDED a data guard (or whatever) to be on a platform that passed high levels of common criteria evaluation. If it weren't for that, similar software would have run just fine under Linux (even without SE) or even Windows. -Dave -- Dave Aronson - Have Pun, Will Babble | Work: davearonson.com | /\ ASCII -------------------------------------+ Play: davearonson.net | \/ Ribbon "Specialization is for insects." | Life: dare2xl.com | /\ Campaign -Robert A.
