Hi everybody

Seems like every time this question comes up, there is a hundred messages coming up on the list.

Everybody seems to have a different approach on wich os to use.

As I said earlier, normally the choice of os is dependent on skill and knowledge. If you're used to Windows NT/2000, the expected choice of os for TSM is NT/2000.

If you're used to UNIX, the normal choice would be UNIX as os for TSM.

But I don't agree with all people saying that Windows scales like UNIX.

As Zlatko pointed out, Intel based machines normally have one PCI bus for example. This is a bottleneck when using high level disksystems, tape systems and other performance equipment.

And, I also agree with Zlatko on the point that I wish TSM would come out for Linux. Linux is more stable than Windows, and runs on the intel platform.

Best Regards

I absolutely disagree with this statement.  IBM is investing more
development dollars on the Windows TSM server than any other platform.
