My preference would be new computers all round. Develop on the PC, build & run on the mainframe when ready. PC power is cheap and, and one per developer, scales well. Installing the software can be as easy as "Boot this floppy. When you seek messages scrolling up the screen, take the floppy out." On reboot, the PC's ready to use, nothing more to do. An install of Red Hat Linux that would be close to what you want takes me 20 minutes to install on a Pentium II. I mount /home from a server; I can move from one PC to another, and the only difference is the power of the hardware. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition.
