Almost since the first alphas hit the streets we've run our major
services on Alpha under OSF1/Digital Unix/Tru64 Unix. (We've still
got a couple of DEC 3000s running).
Now thanks to tight education budgets and the struggling $AU it looks
like we'll be moving to Linux on Intel (cringe).
I'm not worried about squid, apache, sendmail, BIND, DHCP, .... They
should all run fine under Linux.
I am wondering about NIS and NFS. Currently our NIS and NFS servers
are running Tru64 4.0F and this works well with Linux and Tru64 clients.
Is anyone running this the other way round - with NIS and NFS servers
under Linux and Tru64 clients? What's the NFS performance like?
Should I be looking at FreeBSD instead of Linux?
All opinions welcome and I'll summarize.
