As I have mentioned already several times, EW is a workstation product. Don't compare it to a high-end server option. EW has NO server features - no bind, no dhcpd, or similar server options. ES has the server features. > MS does not, as yet, > have a product to compete at the lever that AS is on. Actually, Microsoft's Win2K Data Center Edition is probably a reasonable comparison. It has clustering, it has general server-type features. > The RH WS option > is better compared to Solaris or other high end systems. Wrong again. Solaris is a server OS. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program
