I have a simple answer for you - install Webmin on the FreeBSD system. This webinterface runs on a wide variety of UNIX's including SuSE and presents a consistent administrative interface to answer exactly the problem you have. Even if you can't get them to give up SuSE at least get them weaned onto webmin. ALso, there's one other thing that you should know - it's a lot easier to convince people to switch if you understand their way of doing things in addition to your own. Rather than spending your time trying to convince them to use FreeBSD you should be spending your time getting familiar with SuSE and then once your as capabable with it as your employer is, your going to have a lot more credibility when you tell them "Oh, yes, I know SuSE like the back of my hand but you know what it stinks - switch to FreeBSD" Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Stefan Carstens Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 7:55 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Have to make a decision Hello there, as written above, I have to make a decision. I'm working with FreeBSD since Version 3.1 and absolutly happy about the features it offers, like accessability, availability and stuff. But last month I got a new job, and the guys there are on the way to set up Webservers, Dual-PIII mashines and they told me, that I have to implement them based on Linux (SuSE to worth things to the most); they heard my suggestions about FreeBSD and that it would be better in some ways, like performance and stuff. One thing they really need is a HA solution. I've implemented one on FreeBSD, but then it was another point they mentioned - nobody but me could administrate the system - such a shit, you know one UNIX - you know all. I have to get more, research based payload to bomb that penguin away - hope you can help me, carry on the way you did till here, my honors, Stefan Carstens.
