[PCB_FORUM] Re: UNIX vs PC Workstation

We are using server / client  on PC's.
V15.0 client installation is automated (no Q? asked)
I am handling updates with fileserver install (files are extracted in directory and thats all ), of  course no customized files down the psd_15.0 tree...
That way i need to install update only once.

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.
