WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As Microsoft's support for Windows NT Server 4.0
grinds to a halt, many enterprises will be tackling challenging server
upgrades. 

Information systems directors, like Cliff Gronauer of the Missouri State
Highway Patrol, have tuned and tweaked NT servers during recent years to
keep systems afloat. Gronauer has decided to avoid the "expense and
pain" of upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and opt for Linux when support
from Microsoft concludes at the end of 2004, he said Wednesday at the
Enterprise Linux Forum conference.
