Ok, I admit it – there definitely seems to be a distinct Linux flare to my posts over the last few months considering the continuing series of articles based around iSCSI which make heavy use of the Linux based SAN OpenFiler and indeed now I am writing about using the popular Linux Distribution Ubuntu server – some of you might be thinking “has he gone over to the Dark Side? and embraced the Penguin?”
The truth is – I really like Linux, and indeed whilst it do not proclaim to be in anyway shape or form an “expert” in the subject (although I do have a lot of exposure to IBM AIX where I work) I think that it has a very strong place as an alternative to certain Microsoft Technologies when you are working to a budget but still wish to maintain security and stability – I know that there are others whom will argue that it is the better solution!.
One such example is the deployment of Exchange 2007 OWA published via ISA 200x. I have had a few questions recently from people whom have asked “I have Exchange and I want to publish OWA to the Internet – but I cannot afford ISA as well”.
