Yes. It's pretty rewarding to spend time learning Unix and open standards computing .... Unix Sys Admins would prefer those ASCII config files if for no other reason than remote admin You failed to realize the beauty of windows is that there is no admin on the user's desktop. 2000 does provide a framework for remote administering if it is ever needed. And as you stated you need to be a "UNIX sys Admin" to configure/install things under Solaris. Your average end user is only going to create havoc at the root prompt trying to read man pages and executing cryptic sequences of commands. I for one have absolutely no plans to purchase another PC. Furthermore, I don't know anyone who doesn't have a PC that plans on getting one in the future. The vast majority of PC users would gladly replace their local storage monster with high network bandwidth ROFL - what are you going to replace your home PC with ? To date I know of no ISP's that support JavaStations ... does JavaOS even support modems ... if so hopefully they've created a PPP wizard to help with the install ; not likely ?
