[PCB_FORUM] Re: UNIX vs PC Workstation

Steve,

 You can't rlogin into a windows box.

 You will need to look at a Citrix type solution for the engineers - a
server based solution for the PC world.

 The option would be to look at a Linux platform - the power of PC
hardware - and the ease of use of a Unix - did I really just say that? - of
the command line/interface.

  Subject: [PCB_FORUM] UNIX vs PC Workstation


  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.
