Looking for some upgrade advice

[John Esak]

I'm going to top-post... sorry.

I am a *nix person almost exclusively... and I think getting a hold of a
Unix guru like Bill Campbell to help you put in a Linux system would be
unbeatable. HOWEVER... lacking the money (and I think it would be pretty
considerable to do something like that...) I would never consider switching
from a platform I know and like to something *completely* foreign. It would
be just as hard to go from being a solid Unix house to a Windows server.
The bottom line for me is to agree with Wally, if you are comfortable with
Netware... moving to a @003 server would be relatively painless and offer
you huge new flexibility.
