You may be right! But you have to think from an end user point of view! You can't tell a not techi person learn Linux with in 7 days!!!!!!!
They may kill the system while doing some R & D !!!!!!!!! Think from the point of view of an enterprise application. The normal way is to give a middleware to end user not the DIRECT ACCESS. Using SSH/telnet and working on a console may be a passion but for business application we have to think about the presentation and ease of users.

It is definitely faster than a web based application, and also much easier to secure. Case in point - try to book an air ticket on expedia.com (or maybe thomascook.co.in) sometime, and then go to your local travel agent and see how they use Galileo or Saber (both mainframe hosted apps that travel agents access using a console based app) to select flights, book you a seat and print out your ticket far faster than you could do it using a travel agent's website. > If you think web based application is a good idea, I would suggest you > to use PHP+MySql+Apache............. the fastest combination. But I know It is a bad idea to rip out an existing, functional system in production and replace it with a cuter looking, but far slower and more processor intensive option. > some one pointed some bugs in PHP one or two years back..... I think Two years? Please do yourself a very big favor, and track security releases a bit better than you do, especially if you are going to admin any of the softwares that you advocate, and especially if you are going to admin them for Intel. srs ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
