RE: [MLUG] Sun Micro to Roll Out New Low-End Linux Servers

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Call me nuts but I usually consider payroll a task that needs pretty good
security. I wouldn't have any problem running any task on a Linux box but
a task such as payroll should be on a well secured (network and
physical) box. Hell I'd love to get to someones website and accidently
find a spot I could sign up to recieve payroll checks. :)
