that's fine - i understand other people don't like Solaris, but until
(very) recently, no-one was interested in doing *anything* with Zedler
except me. and i prefer Solaris, so that's what it uses :)

are you fine with running Solaris in that case (as an end-user), or do
you still prefer Linux? recently i'm more interested in back-end
administration, and leaving user support to other people, especially
since other people have root/database access.
i've tried to make zedler "Linux-user-friendly" as far as installing GNU
tools and so on goes. if something is missing here, i'm happy to try to
fix it. (i haven't heard any complaints from users about this recently,
but i understand people are sometimes unwilling to complaing about
'charity' services--please /do/ tell me if something is still not
acceptable to most users.)
i am fine with acting as a sysadmin for Zedler with Solaris and leaving
everything else (including database) to other people--in fact, that's
pretty much what i do now.
if you (or DaB, or maybe someone else, if it's someone we can trust) is
okay with handing over the login server, and running some form of Linux
on it, i'm also fine with that. but in that case i won't be putting any
effort into it at all (although i will continue to run the DB server.)
