IBM prorobly has hte best chance of pulling LInux up to beat NT at its own
game than any three other companys. Why? Cause it got the shit kicked out
of it in the 80's and with os2 and is , if its thinking properly, out to

When you deal with so called "linux" admins who cant upgrade software with
out RPMs you are reallyt and truly fucked. Todays linux is about 80%

IN the end its DIY or Bend OVer.
