I apologise for not staying with the thread, but my linux box died
with a hard disk crash.

In answer to some of the questions raised:

- It may or may not be an upgrade as such, it depends who you talk to.

- Our reason for even thinking about changing o/s's is so that we could
  use the system as bootp server for some HP laser printers. Though we
  have bootp enabled and working under Linux, HP only provide their admin
  tools for HP/UX, Solaris or AIX.

- Yes, if the price is right, I would also like to buy a copy for home use.

With thanks,
Peter Gross.
