>>Err... Apache is a web server, not an OS.

Mitch - thanks for the clarification. I certainly don't admit to having strong knowledge of Open Source systems products (as is probably evident).

My question regarding databases and other applications that are compatible with Linux is really geared toward having a better understanding on how the CIO will look at Linux from a purchase decision. The CIO may have a much different viewpoint than a software developer. The CIO may view some aspects of NT as being advantageous to Linux - namely the fact that NT has a tightly integrated web server, databases that can run on top of it - not to mention a lot of other compatible applications.

Anyway - gotta run - lots of work to do this afternoon.

Thanks for your message.
