I'm definitely not looking for trivial - just trying to make sure I understand the strengths and weaknesses of each system to help me make the right decision. Because once I've made that decision, I have to live with it :-) Our environment is relatively small. About 80 servers that are mostly grouped into 3 compute clusters for the scientists I support. A few switches, and no routers under my direct control (though a few Linux boxes routing between NICs since some of the environment is on our own private LAN behind said Linux box, cut off from the Hospital's network) cheers, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food" _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
