Paul,
If they want to save $$$ they could consider migrating to LINUX. For a UNIX shop it is a more logical migration than NT/2000. Or, is their idea to get rid of higher priced SA's in favor of NT Admins which they think they should pay less? In which case the outcome is decided all ready.

    Paul - What is the base of experience in this shop? Is it primarily an NT     shop and the Unix system is the odd one, or is it primarily a Unix shop and     the NT conversion would be a first plunge? Everything I hear depends     primarily on this factor. Most indications are that the Unix systems tend to     be more reliable, but there are strong NT shops that seem to keep their NT     reliability up, and would struggle with the odd Unix system. I assume that     you are really talking Windows 2000 at this point.     Dennis Williams

    Hello everyone,     

    I'm certain that this is a FAQ, but I thought I would make a request here.     

    I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case     for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT.     

    I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this     subject:     

    Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance,     

    Paul
