Re: [U2] Unidata odd error
We will be doing the same move next year. Please let us know how the process went, any "gotcha's", etc. I've already tested once and did not have any problems with compiling and running the application. Didn't test printing, so I'm a little worried about that. Numerous Datatel clients have made this switch on unidata without much fanfare.

Re: [U2] Unidata odd error
I can't speak for Unidata but with UniVerse there was no problem going from Solaris to Red Hat. We went to it 4 years ago and I did it on a Saturday. I set up the printers and themaster account ahead of time. 99% of the commands are identical, I think the only problems I had were with the cp and rm commands having an extra switch. If you don't use any of the operating system commands you won't have any problems. Unlike going to Windows the spooler is the same and cups is easy to use. If you are moving from a RISC system to INTEL you have to run fnuxi on the accounts if you don't use backup and restore utilities.

I have a question for you. Why are you moving to RedHat from Solaris? Do you think that Redhat is a better o/s? We run everything else on linux here, the Solaris boxes for unidata are the oddballs.

Re: [U2] Unidata odd error
Jeff, I have a question for you. Why are you moving to RedHat from Solaris? Do you think that Redhat is a better o/s?
