Also depends on your expertise level (none when we started. Didn't even
know simple shell commands.) and the demands of your users and management.
We had to PROVE that there would be cases where this is a better solution
than NT. VI? What's that? (tried running VI on a 3270 yet? We did. Once.)
How the &*%$# do you set up TCPIP on VM for Linux? Isn't Samba a dance?
Apaches are just some nice folks on the reservation. You've got to have a
GUI interface? - Oh boy... You have a file bigger than a full-pack 3390?
What do I do with that? What do you mean you want a plan for backups and
methods for maintenance and distribution among hundreds of servers before
you'll even look at it? Estimate of costs vs. NT or HP-UX? How do I get
that?
