The company that sold it to us installed it on the network without a hitch, without a flaw - it appears to be working slightly faster than what they're used to; they want to experiment with another linux box as a server again in the next month. This company has, in the past, sold rather beefy boxes w/ Windows2000 AS, Exchange, SQL, IIS - so in seeing that this box literally acted the same, their eyes got opened a bit; and they're quite happy with the entire process - no hoops had to be jumped through on their end. They're also quite happy that they can access this server via remote with no special tools - access to Webmin and VNC are more than what they could/would have expected... > -- who will maintain the OS and other various software updates? The server is scripted for backing itself up - to CDRW and to another HD (the critical data, the mail and the shared network documents); support and administration done remotely - the server is a gateway by which I can VNC to each of the client workstations if the need arises; the admin on site has access to Webmin and a desktop via VNC on the server; one physical visit per month; all antivirus packages are setup to automagically update themselves - I will personally do the OS updates either in person or via remote. Contract is for one day per month - less than the time I've spent there in the past. The admin is rather "clue-ey" and could very well take over doing the "up2date" herself - which would be even better. -- Thu Aug 21 08:10:00 EST 2003 08:10:00 up 3 days, 10:36, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.11, 0.06 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ | illawarra computer services | | /-oo /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * !07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I !pleH -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
