Greetings, At my place of employment, the management team, who are basically computer illiterate, have decided that there should be no Unix machines providing network or Internet services, only NT machines. I am trying to convince them that this would be a mistake. This situation is complicated by the fact that the Network Administrator does not know anything about Unix and has shown an unwillingness to learn. Over the last 4 months, the AIX machine that the previous Network Administrator setup has been running happily without any intervention, while the NT servers have crashed at least twice a month. I personally have six FreeBSD machines (workstation usage) that have been running without any problems; but this does not seem to be enough evidence. I, along with a couple of other people are trying to present evidence to keep Unix systems running at our site. I searched the FreeBSD archives and found the reference to the article by John Kirsch about Unix vs. NT and have submitted that to management. I am curious if anybody else has had to go through this type of nonsense and could provide any pointers. I am particularly interested in Unix vs. NT for mail service. All pointers and moral support are greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Glenn Johnson gljohns@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
