Jerry There's a simple answer to *that* question. Having used AIX, HPUX, DGUX, SCO, Interactive, SunOS, Solaris, Linux and Windows, as well as a plethora of different languages and frameworks.. the best technology is whatever I'm being PAID to work on at the time :) Brian

From: Dave R [mailto:dave.ra...@juno.com] Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 3:54 PM To: jpb-u...@hotmail.com Subject: Re: [u2u] UV on Windows question Unix has it's own set of administration tools different the windows administration tools, I don't believe they require about the same knowledge to use, if you are a windows engineer you would like a windows platform and if you are a Unix engineer you would prefer Unix. Even thought I use a Windows platform I prefer Unix systems as a platform for a Multi-Value system. If you want to purchase a new system then I would go to Reality (contact Northgate-IS, John Semen or Mark Pick). It is the rated by the experts as the best of the systems, Unidata would be next, and UniVerse would be 3rd. The first reason is that Unix systems are not susceptible by Windows viruses. The second reason is security, Most windows hackers are complete lost in UNIX. The Unix systems are more robust. The file management is improved in Unix and The Unix OS was designed for multi users and by mainframe software engineers who have a far more knowledge of multi user environments. Most companies hire windows network engineers and they don't like the idea of Unix platforms. However most large companies run Unix or Aix or Hpux for the platform for Reality or U2. Some other considerations would be if you are coming from a different Multi-Value package like Pick D2 or mvBase, Reality and UniVerse have switches to creating an environment to run that flavor of Multi-Value, requiring little to no conversion of the software and database. A big cost factor in the conversion.
