If your applications run on Openserver5 then it is a great cost-effective platform. Very stable, doesn't take a kernel hacker to support it. Also take a look at SCO Unixware. But I would mostly decide on an application first, and then look for hardware & an OS to support it. -- Danny Aldham www.postino.com Need a UUCP E-Mail feed? - Ask me!
