Apparently I'm not doing very well at explaining that there's more to TCO
than the face value of the desktop products.
Let's continue to assume that I prefer Windows to anything else (1):
If :
-- you work in a Windows-centric organization, and
-- your skill set is Windows-centric, and
-- the
Not to be flippant, but isn't it a shame that some consultants would
recommend a solution which is of more benefit to themselves than to their
customer? As for me, I wasn't comfortable making any sort of Linux
recommendation (pro or con) until I actually tried it out, though many
asked. So,
I normally do trim posts to remove parts that irrelevent to my reply. I'm
embarrassed that I did not in my earlier posting.

True - maybe that's part of the reason that I'm so fond of green-screen
dumb terminals. There isn't much to those things for users to mess with.

See, a good example of how an OS migration should be done in an
organization where it makes sense - and where it may actually save money
over a 5-year span.
Thanks!

Let me say upfront that I like Linux in general, and RedHat in particular.
And (heresy!) I like MS products.
2 questions:
-- what about the architectural/accounting package?
-- who will maintain the OS and other various software updates?
As far as dependability - when properly configured and
Rick,
The whole point of my previous post was to question the TCO of a Linux
solution, not to say that Microsoft is any better or that Linux is any
worse...
True, MS Servers need to be patched from time to time - as do any other
server offerings. These days MS Servers can download and
Or as impartial as I should be On balance, I much prefer IBMs iSeries
over everything else (Linux and Windows included). It already has the
security that will be coming in Linux, and that Microsoft can only dream
about. Lock it as sec level 50 and you've got one tight box...
But try and
Such was not my intent. My apologies to all whom I offended.

I have 2 departmental email servers in different cities (Amarillo and
Dallas). Each has its own public IP address, domain name, and MX record. I
want the email destined for the Dallas server to first come to Amarillo,
then have the Amarillo firewall forward the Dallas traffic to the Dallas
email
I ran it on Dell Latitude, worked fine (I never tried the modem, though).
I downgraded to RH8 because of Ximian Evolution issues.

And in the Windows world you can use Terminal Services, or Citrix Metaframe. Both will allow you to set up low-end client PCs and run the software on a souped-up server.Tom HightowerSolutions, Inchttp://www.simas.com[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED]06/25/2003 04:32 PM ZE2Please respond
How do you know which character set the mail is using? Do you read the
body of the email until you find some number of ascii characters that are
outside of your acceptable ascii character range? Or is there a header
entry that you look for?

Doesn't seem to help. When I login as root I get the following error
dialog:
Could not look up internet address for tomdell.office.
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly.
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding tomdell.office to the
file /etc/hosts.

Perhaps they've (mis)configured their FTP server to not allow a connection
from your IP? I can do that with my AS/400 - an unallowed client can
connect, but when the FTP server doesn't find that IP in my table the
connection is closed.

We need to set up an SMTP scanning server. I've been looking at / getting
prices for Windows NT-based solutions such as McAfee's WebShield SMTP.
Does anyone know of any Linux-based (preferably Redhat) equivalents?

Bearing in mind that I'm fairly new to all things Linux
I have a total of 10 mail servers for which I need to provide a higher
level of email protection. 9 of them are hosted on one Lotus Domino server
(running on a Windows NT 4.0 server), each with their own domain name and
public IP

I need to configure my laptop to work with our office Windows network,
domain name=OFFICE. In the Windows NT PDC, my laptop is known as
'tomdell'.
My laptop is configured to use DHCP, and it's getting an IP address. In
the network configuration panel I have:

I've downloaded the .run thingy from nVidia's web site. When I enter the
sh NVIDIArun command, I'm told that I need to exit the XServer before
I install the driver.
How do I exit the XServer? How do I get back into XServer after I've
installed the driver?
