Hello All!
For those who might be interested...
Next week I leave the employ of the government and enter the employ of 
private industry.
I'll be changing from a do-it-all network manager/administrator, unix 
manager/administrator, desktop helper/help desk operator, programmer, etc. to 
a simple Unix Systems Administrator -- with responsibility for about a half 
dozen SCO Unix systems ranging from 3.2 installations to at least one 
OpenServer v5.0.4 system.
Immediate tasks will be moving the company to a new location in the same 
building, consolidating the remote servers to a central server farm, and 
quite likely, standardizing them on either OpenServer v5.0.4, or possibly 
Unixware 7.
The sole purpose of the Unix servers is to support a distributed database 
maintaining the entire client records of the firm.
Since I'll be living and breathing SCO servers for the majority of my day 
now, I'm quite likely to become a bit more prolific, and a bit more 
technically oriented, about that topic. Ya'll just carry on as you were, all 
topics of Unix will continue to be welcome here.. it's just me that might 
become a bit more "bigoted" as time wears on. :)
btw, I read a couple of articles about Unixware 7 today in the new issue of 
SCO World. If the product is half as good as the reviews suggest, it ought to 
be walking on water by the end of the year! I'm looking forward to getting my 
hands on a eval copy very soon now -- although I did note that they're 
recomminding a minimum P166 w/64MB RAM to run the thing. SCO World tested the 
installation on 128MB RAM -- but, shucks, at a buck and a half a meg, 128MB 
ought to be standard equipment on any P166 or larger anyway. Right? :)
