Yes, everyone is aware of the issues (I was waiting for the "I told you so" speech :-))
Still can't justify the cost of AIX servers (and constant licensing/maintenance costs) vs x86 boxes. We pay $50 per Linux server for the software and have site maintenance contracts with RedHat. On the other hand, if we have genuine hardware/engineering issues (the Dell techs were suprised at our configuration. Don't seem to be that many folks buying 5TB x86 boxes), then we have a different issue. Either way, I have to live with this. ---------------------------------------------------- Zoltan Forray Virginia Commonwealth University Office of Technology Services University Computing Center e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: 804-828-4807 "Allen S.
