Scenario 1: Company uses Linux(or GNU/Linux) Employee wants to use Windows Advice: Employee can pay for License and use it and needs to figure out if all Linux services will work on it. ( As an example try locating an NIS client for the latest version of Windows which apart from accessing file and print services would also know what to do with other maps esp. ethers amongst others, I am assuming a sadistic System Admin who has turned off arp interfaces on the servers ) Scenario 2: Company uses Windows Advice: Employee can use Linux but needs to buy proprietary software to use some of the services on the primarily proprietary software based network. Advice: Continue to use Windows, install Cygwin and Free Software from GNUWinII and wait till you are able to use the proprietary software based network services. Supplying the necessary material for a potentially explosive flamewar and watching from sidelines. -Tarun _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
