Though I know we're going way OT - I was told that the most interesting thing coming out of brainshare (apart from Win2008 running in Xen) was that there are still many large companies running NetWare 3.12 servers, many with 1000+ days of uptime.
Oh please, 1000 days uptime? that's child's play for linux -

Remember NW3,x with affection... needed *NO* TLC ,.. probably the most secure server OS around for providing file storage and print services (when properly configured of course)... the only time the things went down was when the hardware died or the the admin (or cleaners :-)) pulled the plug on the server... Linux does many more and much more complex things than NW3.x but NW3.x strength was (and is) its solid reliability and overall performance in the few things it did do. A direct comparison of NW3.x to Linux is probably not really valid... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
