<None. I haven't seen an NT box up for months at a time without <a reboot due to something trivial like a network change that can be done <with a Unix box without a reboot. Well I have. Current up time for the three NT 3.51 servers I live with at work is over 6months. We do however have things like memory leaks from Cold Fusion's OBDC driver that forces the running of a batch job every night to shut that down and restart the one peice. Often the OS gets blamed for cranky apps. <> We're switching to Linux at work only because there's more software <> available, and we have more knowledge available for Linux than BSD. < <Sounds reasonable... I've been using FreeBSD with 6+ months <uptime on web servers (only rebooted because of equipment moves in the lab) This thread is interesting to me (though OT for Classiccmp) as I plan to introduce a FreeBSD(or linux, slakware, redhat or debian) and not haveing much unix expereince it's an interest to me. Personally a VMS node suits my liking. Allison
