There is one small thing that should be admitted though. If you plan
on using OSAgent, I hope you have a Windows or Solaris box around.
Unfortunatley, OSAgent is not 100% java, so it needs to run native.
As an aside, I've talked to Inprise/Visigenic and they say they have
Visibroker for Linux on their plate, but they don't have any delivery
time for it. Rumor has it that some of their code geeks have it running
internally, but the marketing folks Just Don't Get It (tm) that there
is a market. Drop their sales people a nice note explaining that you
would be willing to pay for and use such a product. They missed out
on a huge sale from my current client as my client is looking to go to
doing most of their java/CORBA/servlet development on Linux, but had
deceided to go with RMI for now.
