Hi, Joe - I echo the sentiment about a cool boss. As a company owner myself, I'd like to suggest a few more thoughts to share with him. First, it takes a lot fewer sysadmins to run a BSD network than an NT one. Even more so, if you can put the end users on BSD with Applix rather than Dozo because then all the user machines can be centrally admin'd as well. My experience has been that BSD has a much steeper setup-time expense but a much smaller down-the-road admin cost. Second, with BSD you very rarely need console access. My SysAdmin is Ukrainian, and as a 19-year-old kid he knows enough to be writing articles about cracking techniques for TechRepublic.com. The fall of the USSR has created a tremendous window of opportunity for global enterprise thinking, and this is one of the more pleasant aspects of it. -- Donald Wilde "Linking Minds and Micros" ================= S i l v e r L y n x =================== PMB 117, 1380 Rio Rancho Blvd SE v: 505-771-0709 f: 771-1356 Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87124 web: http://www.Silver-Lynx.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
