Hello! George the entries are completely wrong and, ah, not even up to date. He's using the original arguments against server (Intel) based Linux for server (IBM system Z) based Linux issues, and is still wrong. There are companies out there who have been there and done that. And are quite successful doing it. There will always be dodos like that who persist in being wrong for their own sake because they refuse to believe that there is more money in being right. And the rest of the good group here will probably back me up. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
