You may imagine what a poor indicator this is of a migrations traction or progress. For one, they take time; and for another the Web site hosting could be outsourced.

After reading Novell's account of how they migrated the museum off of proprietary software I checked the http header returned by the museum's Web server. It reports itself as being Microsoft-IIS 5.0.

So, how much of this story is hype? I love hearing Linux success stories--being an exclusively Linux user for four years now--as much as the next guy. But it does the community no good to tell a story that is little more than a tall tale.
