Yes, very simple solution, although quite radical, your
boss may not like it :). Revert to the Unix version,
install Linux, install MySQL and enjoy life. Lesser
cost, better performance, and you can really do it
unless someone insists on running a particular
application currently available only on NT and would not
accept Linux alternatives for anything. You may actually
be glad you did it early/be sorry you did not do it
early enough in the long run.
