It just struck me that my last response to you was less
than legible, so I'm going to repost in a more tabular
format (see msg. 14866).

But those days may be over, as my look at the near-release version of
Red Hat Linux 5.0 shows. I recently set up two simple 10-user test
intranets for a fictional insurance company. One was built with Red
Hat Linux 5.0 and the other was set up with Windows NT Server 4.0.
With Red Hat, not only did I get the base OS, but also a Web server,
email server, database program, and more. The total cost was $49.95.
The cost of a similar NT setup is over $4,600 (see below the table
"Red Hat Linux Versus NT"). Now you can see why Linux is making strong
inroads in the corporate world.

Red Hat Linux Versus NT

Red Hat Linux isn't just cheap--you get a number of
bundled services compared to NT.
