    Oups! sorry if it was not clear.
    I'm not asking you for any application recommandation nor any OS
    recommandation. In fact my question should be ennonced like that : how do
    you do when you want to introduce a new OS in your companie ?
    Some mails earlier, I've been told to calculate the TCB (Trusted Computing
    Base) of the whole system and since that, I concentrate my efforts on it.
