Thanks Aaron. In this particular case, it would be a sys-admin role. The developers manage their issues separately. The idea is to simply keep their network running as it is now.
I understand that some of the tools may be different (like X windows). But for standard sys admin stuff like setting up printers, maintaining printer queues, user management, and general service management, I'm not really seeing too many differences. Then again, I only had a short period of time to scratch the surface. Thanks for the input. Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Aaron J.
