Nope. I'm just an idea guy who figured somebody in charge would discus this to the tech people who would then talk about pluses and minuses. I then figured after a brief "blow off" that it would be too much trouble.
Later one, I suggested a cloud while the Linux idea, and blending the Linux idea with a cloud while the problems were worked out. No go. Guess I'm not one to suggest ideas...
While I can envision that there are hiccups in the system, I didn't see why it would be that big of a problem. Maybe it would be too much money and effort?
The system we used was a lot more problematic in the first place, when they made their first program change. The program is now completely different from the program that now exists. The problem, should they attempt it, would be a matter of fitting Linux to the current program. I'm not good enough to debate the above list, mostly because I don't believe I'm qualified to attack it.
That is, if I can just ask them to mull the list you posted above. There is really nothing wrong with the system except for the fact that it is not fast enough. Hypothetically, a faster system could make us more efficient. One hitch is that the tech people are a bit lazy when it comes to keeping the system in top shape, but that is just my opinion. I don't really know what goes on back there, to be honest.

I have no idea what "current program" you are speaking of that your company uses but if it is something that must be used and is custom made for your company and is designed to run on a Windows OS, then that could be a major problem if you tried to migrate it to a Linux OS. You don't "fit Linux to the current program." Linux is an OS, so you would have to "fit" your program to Linux, which could involve a heavy rewrite of the program depending upon what if any OS resources it uses. Then again, it could be as simple as recompiling it on a Linux machine or then again if it is a Language such as Java that runs on a Virtual Machine it could be fairly portable and not much problem at all.

NFN, what you are asking them to do is a considerable amount of research, man hours and work.
When proposing something to management you just gotta have your ducks in a row not just "hypothetically you think it'll be better/faster"
Thanks, Ya'll. I made a suggestion based upon a previous chat that the tech end had dropped the ball. The tech end of it wasn't doing their job. I reminded a supervisor about an earlier chat between the supervisor some years ago in which there was some give and take. Supervisor said how about a two second lag. Tech guy said how about an eight second lag and so forth. Tech guy said that's as fast as I can make it.
Apparently we are back to speed. Thanks for the feedback.
