Dave, >From a technical standpoint, the initial Remedy installation is harder, >because the BMC developers aren't as familiar with *nix as they are with >Windows-based operating systems. There may be bugs in the installation code >which don't exist in Windows. That said, the *nix versions use scripts in a lot of places, and you can troubleshoot most of the issues you will encounter on your own where you wouldn't be able to do so with a compiled executable in Windows. As far as the database goes, it really depends on which database you or your DBA are most comfortable with. MSSQL is easy to install and easy to script. Oracle is more robust, but for Remedy purposes, they're equally reliable. If you are comfortable working with Oracle, you'll have no trouble. If not, you'll have an excellent opportunity to expand your repertoire. Best of luck, Jennifer Meyer Data Manager Mystikal Solutions <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
