I only have one RH machine (which _has_ to be Red Hat 7.2 because the
third party software which runs on it and is 'mission critical' is only
supported under RH7.2), I found the Progeny transition service useful
(www.progeny.com).  Not hard to sell to the boss, when you're shelling
out several k's on Solaris support $5 per month for a RedHat box isn't
an issue [Yes I know the two are really comparable, and Sun support is
second to none in my experience - just that the annual cost of Sun
support is around the price of a comparable Interl server!]

Anyway, this is well OT now.  Perhaps we should stop.
