RE: AS/400 in mainstream trade press--InfoWorld.com TestCenter Page ( frame)

Solaris.  The article assumed a smaller company being bought by a larger and
having its network integrated with the larger company's.  The test compared
how easy it was to integrate Solaris, OS/400, Novell, Linux, and Win$2K into
the larger company's already heterogeneous network.  It was a close second.
The little thermometer graphic they use looked identical to me for Solaris
and OS/400.  They used to give numerical scores, but they went with icons a
while back.
