[James Eitzen]

How much for a Linux consultant?

And he can shop around. Pleanty of guys out there looking to work.

  30-40 bucks a pop for trend micro. your not going to protect the  
machines?

Or he can have a custom Linux setup with windows desktops? Can't see  
that turning unto a mine field.


Awfully hostel twords a windows 2003 server platorm. I mean  
comcidering this is a windows thread.
