Hi,

thanks a lot for your thoughts.
At the moment I made up a list of MS-Programs which we need urgently.
I am trying to get them running with wine at the moment.
If I am successful I will go on with the rest, reading me through the
LDAP HowTos and setting up LDAP on my systems.
I am familiar with solaris, RH Linux and SCO, but I guess I will stick
to RH as the Workstations operating system, i guess it is a bit faster
on x86 computers and there is more software available.

I thought of having SUNs new "Java Desktop System" running on the
Workstation later, as I heared that there should be a "feel alike MS
Windows", although it is based on Gnome.
The only thing is that SUN does not offer a evaluation Version for
Linux but only for Solaris. So I have to set up a Solaris Workstation
to have it tested before I buy the Linux Version. Anyhow I am not
quite shure wether the Windows / Wine Programs which run under Linux /
Gnome will run under SUNs Java Desktop System as well. I will try to
contact SUN and ask for it.
Time is quite short because SUN is offering the Java Desktop System
(50$ instead of 100$) for half its origin Price until December ...
