        Or perhaps the HP-UX discussion should move to the HP9000-L?

Just a thought,
        Jon

Friends, Romans, Countrymen ...

My in-basket is very full with the 3000-L discussions. I request the
HP-UX discussions be moved to OT: I'd like not to sift through these to
see the 3000 pertinent discussions.

Maybe we need a new group - 3000-M for Migration.

I am not sure I see your point.  How many people are considering MYSQL,
POSTGRES and SAPDB?

Oracle is a good product but very overpriced.  Maintenance is
outrageous.  Why move to an open OS, and be strangled by the database.
Oracle pricing structure is a joke.

Since HP has given up the PA-Risc chip, why would they spend all their
time creating and maintaining a proprietary OS, when LINUX is free. This
doesn't seem to follow HP's new business model of low priced commodity
products.

I believe it was posted on this list an article where HP was pushing
RedHat to develop an Enterprise version of Redat to run on Superdome.

I too am strugling with the ideas of where to spend my energies.  What
is the life span of HP-UX.  (Maybe we can discuss something other than
Saddam or WMD, quite frankly no one has changed their opinions.)

So, what do people think?  Is there a future for HP-UX?

-Craig
