Hi folks

I'm applying for a job supporting an office that has an AS400
file/Database store, PCs using Terminal emulation and Peer to peer
networking. Queries etc are done purely on the client, perhaps using
Excel as the client interface

Now they know they have to replace this stuff, and I'm pretty sure a
Linux box with Samba would handle the file storage, and I'd investigate
transferring data to MySQL if possible, with more server side
processing. The data entry interface would have to be looked at, my
usual default for that is web based so hello Apache and some form of ASP
or CGI,

But any advice on the networking side?
