Paul,
If they want to save $$$ they could consider migrating to LINUX. For a
UNIX shop it is a more logical migration than NT/2000. Or, is their
idea to get rid of higher priced SA's in favor of NT
Admins which they think they should pay less? In which case the outcome
is decided all ready.

Actually, Dennis, it's currently a UNIX shop considering saving money by
migrating to NT. It seems like your argument would support sticking with
what they currently have.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul - What is the base of experience in this shop? Is it primarily an NT
shop and the Unix system is the odd one, or is it primarily a Unix shop and
the NT conversion would be a first plunge? Everything I hear depends
primarily on this factor. Most indications are that the Unix systems tend to
be more reliable, but there are strong NT shops that seem to keep their NT
reliability up, and would struggle with the odd Unix system. I assume that
you are really talking Windows 2000 at this point.

Hello everyone,
I'm certain that this is a FAQ, but I thought I would make a request here.
I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case
for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT.
I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this
subject:
* whitepapers
* platform selection papers
* pro/con summaries to management, no matter how informal
Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance,
Paul
