Ken, if you can really keep them cool, they'll last alot longer as a server than alot of folks think...but then we've had regular laptops (Higher end IBM Thinkpads) running almost 24x7 in a user environment without really getting hit with alot of failures... BUT, you need the higher end laptops (of whomevers you buy) and ya gotta keep them cool and make sure the fans don't go on you...:) Don in DC ---------------------------------- On 30 Jun 2003, Ken Schneider wrote:

Would a laptop be of use as a Linux server? How much of an uptime can be expected from a laptop?
Although laptops CAN be used as a server it is NOT recommended, they are not built for that task.
