I've used Oracle C libraries to access an Oracle 10 server using both Linux (Centos, not that it matters) and OpenSolaris. Both seem to work. I've never done it with Java, though I'd expect the outcome to be basically the same. Outlook doesn't run anywhere but on Windows. But there are many (mostly better) clients available on other platforms, and some of those other clients (such as Thunderbird) will run on Windows as well, so you can at least try them out before making other changes. OpenSolaris has a full suite of office applications available, and they're all interoperable with the MS ones. It uses OpenOffice. (Which you can also try out on your existing Windows machines if you like -- just go to www.openoffice.org, download, and give them a try. Free certainly beats MS licensing.) Linux usually has the same available. OpenOffice is a widely-available alternative to the MS tools. And, of course, all of this runs easily on Intel platforms. I'd expect that the real decisions to be made are in regard to the vendor support you need (which we can't answer here; you'll need to contact your application vendors), and the sorts of detailed features you need (which might be answerable here, if we only knew). -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
