I find Unix easy to admin. Also, it is very much easier to administrate from remote locations. I think that Unix is such a beast to admin is a myth. Of course, some knowledge is required, but IMO knowledge is never vasted. Upgrading from HP-UX 10.10 to 10.20 is just running a upgrade. Not much more, and should not take many hours. -- 'yvind Gjerstad Systems dept Tollpost-Globe AS N-6301 'ndalsnes/Norway E-mail: ogj@it.tollpost.no Phone: +47 7122 6663 Fax: +47 7122 6694
