    To us it's vital. We run 20 boxes nfs and nis with autofs. There are 160 user
    accounts. The SuSE software cost us Euros 60. The microsoft software would
    have been so way off budget to be unthinkable. We are a small school so
    security is not such a big issue. We have a firewall which stops the baddies
    from outside and file permissions seem to guard against the rest internally.
    I found the learning curve steep as I'm not trained in computers but within
    our budget there really is nothing to touch it. I often wonder what a NT or
    2000 network feels like compared to a Linux one and how much more you really
    get by paying microsoft prices. It would be interesting to hear comments from
    someone who has used both.
    Thanks for the topic.
    Steve.
