as a shameless plug, a few of us recently started the design of the "linux migration project", designed specifically to help corporations migrate over to linux. we've just started, but you're welcome to join the mailing list and even help write some of the documentation once we get rolling. the linux migration project is hosted by sourceforge, but you can get there by going to, as one choice, www.linux-migration.org. rday _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
