> Computer Associates Seems sorta logical for a company whose core business is computing. I'd expect you to have Turbolinux and RHL too for some value of "production." I feel (and I don't have the experience to back it up) that retailers, financial institutions and such would be a little more conservative, just as I will run almost anything on my desktop, but I'm much more cautious about the server. -- 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.
