Perhaps I should explain: where I am we have a system that was grown over the space of 30 years, portions are custom programs, portions are things like cron-jobs.
I would ultimately like to clean things up so that there is minimal dependence on OSes, allowing us to change out as-needed, and using a single language (Ada) to increase maintainability and correctness/consistency of the system.

Hm, I see... it might take me a bit to set up a linux computer for such use; we have training for new personnel and the computer I would use is time-shared with operations, so I'll have to make sure the system is free when I want to do things.

I'm not entirely sure about the full set yet; the most-used UI for the system is a Java program, run under Solaris.
