Tim and Ellis thanks for the information. I think I may try the MS for
UNIX and a couple of the VNCs
BTW Ive used putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ to
access my my web servers through SSH and it does well for lightweight
work on the Linux server , Im afraid its lacking on the terminal
emulation side for any type of substantial interaction with the server.
So, I now have a better idea of the UNIX server landscape. I come from a
small software company where I was the dba and sa for their 15 or so nt
and 2k servers, and now Im most likely moving to a UNIX server
environment where I wont be acting as the sa ;-) So I wanted to get a
feeling of what the topography looked like. I'm pretty sure I can handle
my own from the OS utility perspective but will definitely need to
practice my shell scripts and the like.
Thanks!
Bob
