We are in the process of switching from DG intel to IBM intel running Red Hat Linux. We don't have the IBM server yet. We are currently experimenting with a Dell Poweredge server with Red Hat AS 2.1. All of our Universe files and apps convert over just fine. I really cant put a full load on it to give it a true test. However, it has been blowing the doors off the old system (sselect on 721657 records Red Hat/Dell = 1min 12 sec, DG = 11min 10sec). Nothing has crashed yet, no core dumps. Red Hat is as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be depending on what support option you purchase. Isn't it true that the SCO code is now in Red Hat anyway ;>) ? Guess we'll find out when the dust settles. Anyway, I would say that it is worth a look. We're very happy with it so far. We are a small Universe shop - 100 users realtime point of sale.

Because of an existing ERP license agreement, we need to stay with "Unix". While I would prefer to stay with HP-Ux, pricing for a new HP-Ux server seems to be approaching $10,000. Right now, I am not sure if it makes any sense to upgrade hardware in our HP-9000-E45 box. We would rather spend $3k. Thus, I am considering running SCO on say a Dell server. Any comments on running UV on SCO ? Perhaps there is another "Unix" besides SCO...
