Re: OT - unix vs linux vs windows - the future

I dont think the "classic" unix that you speak of will go away that fast, too many solaris/aix/hpux machines floating around still.

I do any development/testing of features on linux, it cost me nothing but the hardware.

RH 7.3 downloaded, no cost.

technet member 9ir2 oracle downloaded, no cost.

it only makes sense.
