Actually I have done much the same as Joe. I run RedHat 7.3, Oracle9i for Linux, OpenOffice,
and Ximian Evolution (www.ximian.com). I have a Windows box that I sync my Handspring with
to get my Exchange schedule and then use gpilotd to sync with Evolution and run my calendar
off of Linux. I

Wow Joe, sounds like a religious conviction...
I'm impressed because I'm of the same persuasion but I'm not quite so
pious/zealous and am still somewhat enslaved to the M$ beast/devil because
of the company usage of Exchange with MS Outlook for Calendar and workflow.

Jared - Good point. In addition, other costs to an independent Unix vendor
are:
- Staff costs of a large development staff. This cost doesn't vary,
regardless of the number of customers. Therefore, vendors with a small
market share have proportionally higher costs.
- Costs of attracting
Good bet that smaller Unix vendors will run to Linux before vendors like
Sun do.
Not exactly , just look at homepages of sun , ibm , oracle .
There are more appearences of the word linux there than any word in

I think it is important to understand the situation from the vendor's
point of view. That will lead to more accurate predictions of their future

virtually guaranteeing its success, and your statement about vendors

I dont think the classic unix that you speak of will go away that
fast, too many solaris/aix/hpux machines floating around still.
I do any development/testing of features on linux, it cost me nothing
but the hardware.
RH 7.3 downloaded, no cost.

Development shops that actually write native code will target an OS with
market share. Now, seeing that alot of code written today is interpreted
the move to linux, windows, or beatnix is irrelevent. As far as DB
vendors targeting linux they move in herds and have just finished
their linux port
I'm sure that many vendors welcome an opportunity
to stop paying royalties to ATT for unix code. I believe
that all mainstream vendor implementations of unix have
ATT base.
