I'm not sure whether you're talking about a GUI environment for an administrator's interface or for users. The fact that you're saying it would be on a shipping dock or shop floor suggests a user interface. Are you comparing this to other computing environments that would be different? It seems to me that a Linux, Unix, or Win2K environment WITH built-in graphic hardware would subject you to the same situation -- PC's or thin client terminals out in the user climate. Isn't this the nature of a GUI environment regardless of the type of server? -Jim James P. Damato Manager - Technical Administration Dollar General Corporation <mailto:jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
