Hello, Johann. :) I think I mentioned this a couple of weeks back, but that may have been on another list... An interesting book that addresses these kinds of issues is The UNIX Guide to Defenestration. The author presents a number of scenarios, ideas, and cost comparisons that you might find useful. Have a look at the web site at www.winface.com The book has a number of typos, but it's actually very well-written and easy to follow. If your users don't trust you before you begin, it's not going to work. Best of luck in your efforts - take your time with it.
