Adam, good comments. I spent the whole of today in NY City at linux world. Very well run conference and expo...COMMON could learn alot from them in the expo area... The expo and attendance was much lower than I had expected... I was surprised to see the lack of major application system providers in the expo...most of them seemed tobe hardware, development tools and other misc development/developers...as well as Red Hat, HP, Intel, IBM, most of the NYC area linux UG's....even Sharp was demo'ing the new palm units running linux... And, I was also surprised to hear that SAP has been live on linux for some time....also surprised were many of the vendors/developers who had earlier in the day confirmed that the big software houses were still "testing the waters"...I actually found the linux update from the IBM SAP rep at the IBM booth as SAP didn't have a presence there of their own....neither did JDE, Lawson, Seibel, etc.... And, the IBM booth(s) had both a 270 and a 820(albeit, not the currently announced version...with linux) Alot of concensus was that even though you don't see what we would consider mainstream software packages, that the major houses were definately in the testing the waters phase, if not in the R&D phases. Thanks... Don in DC
