While true the first time moving to hardened sources is "interesting" |
| 13 |
at minimum and downright painful at its worst. The time is worth it, but |
| 14 |
you will break and app or two as well as pull some hair out along the |
| 15 |
way depending on the complexity of your environment. However if you're |
| 16 |
building a new system do it now if possible rather than after you've got |
| 17 |
your applications working or you'll fall victim to the "don't fix what |
| 18 |
isn't broken" rule. :) |
