Your so right, no fanboz need apply in this business as an open-mind is all that is required.

(was: Linux vs Windows) Dan, Unfortunately too many people make it a one versus the other. I guess it's the "yu-ra-ra, mine is the best, and yours is bad because of it" fan-boy syndrome. Of course anyone who is one of these fan-boys will rail on me for stating the obvious, objective view of the situation ;-) I work in shops that have many OS's because they all perform certain tasks very well. I have a customer that is still running Windows NT4 and has been for 15 years, on the same machine. That was an effective, economic purchase. System 36 and AS400s were a cost effective solution in their' day, as were any other OSs. Linux is just another tool to use in our trade. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Dan Waters Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 8:59 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Apps for Linux? (was: Linux vs Windows) OK - There are advantages as an OS. But what apps can you run? Is there the equivalent of a VB.net/C#/SQL Server app? How about an Access app? What other business apps are available? Thanks!
