RE: The Linux Hole

As long as configuration is "idiot friendly", I don't think they would care.
I didn't say "idiot proof" because we all know how easy that is <VBG>.

One of the longer threads on this group was about
"what you could/would run in Linux" once you got it up.

I don't recall many folks waving flags cause they could
run Linux. I'm sure it's great, but what one can run in
the Unix world that is useful for AS/400 folks is in doubt.

I suppose those "killer apps" that currently run on AIX
would be a logical choice, but I wonder how many windoz
folks(users) are gonna be happy in the Linux/Unix world.
