[PCB_FORUM] Re: UNIX vs PC Workstation

The only issue we have with the PC's is that everyone need to install the 
software on their own machine. In Unix you install the software once on 
the server and it's done. Same with updates

I just joined the list, so this topic may have already been covered.
We are currently running on UNIX servers.  They are going to replace them 
soon.  Cost wise between a UNIX server and a PC workstation it is pretty 
much even.  My supervisor wants to know if switching to the PC workstation 
version would be beneficial.  We only have 3 board designers.  The 
engineers rlog in to the servers to use Concept.  We have 8-10 engineers 
that use Concept though only a few at any given time.
Any thoughts or opinions.
 
Thank you.
