I just thought I'd start a conversation, which I hope will present a few different viewpoints. This forum has been very helpful for me, and I can see that most of the "regulars" have years of experience.
Now that SCO has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (which doesn't mean they are gone (yet)), I feel it's time to migrate our Clients to something else. Or at least offer an alternative. It's getting increasingly difficult to sell a solution running on SCO.
Our primary application is a character-based accounting package. We have a few add-ins which utilize PERL and/or TCP sockets. I've stuck with SCO primarily because it's what we are most familiar with. Our comfort level and knowledge is beneficial to our Clients.
Time to switch:
Which flavor of Linux? Most of our Client's have 6 to 100 users. Do we stick with System-V printing or embrace CUPS?
Any stories from the trenches is appreciated. Sorry for making this post so long!
