Converting a MS company to Linux

[Bill Warner]

Hmmm,  I wonder if using an IBM GPFS shared cluster rather than nfs
would be a good way to run the terminal server?

I am looking into building a cluster for one of our application
servers.  Maybe I will hold that knowledge for use in a terminal server
project.  Just seems like running any kind of terminal servers runs a
huge possibility with a single point of failure that would put a lot of
sales people out of work for the downtime.
