I had to upgrade to Win2000 at work because of the frequency of crashes in Win98SE. It's been about 6 weeks. Win2000 crashes a LOT LESS than Win98SE, and seems to phantom reboot a lot more. I discovered a crash counter in the Register and the value was set at 10. I stopped keeping track of the counts after a half-dozen, but I knew there had to be more than ten. Then I discovered another registry entry - Crashcounter limit, which was also set to ten. I guess if you have more than 10 crashes they don't want to know about it. But, Win2000 is a lot more stable than Win98SE, for sure.
Yes...it is, however, it's NO WHERE near the quality of Linux, nor can it even begin to approach the level of stability.
True! Last September, at work, I set up a DELL 200MHz box with two HDs, using SuSE 6.4. It has been running 24/7 every since then and is only booted because the network folks want to run Nortens Ghost to back it up every so often. It has NEVER crashed, or even hiccupped!! The net fols KNOW IT, TOO. The box is right across from the network admins cubical. He sees it every day. And, he and his crew are repairing Win2000s every day too. It's got to be eating at him... He used to razz me a lot about Linux, sometimes mockingly, but that has stopped completely!
Best,
Fred
The phantom reboots are instead of the BSOD. There is an option to turn it off which puts your right back to those blue screens. regards Steve Jerry Kreps wrote:

That's what I surmized, but I didn't know you could turn it off and get the 'beloved' BSOD back! It's amazing, in a negative way, to see your PC setting there, with no user tasks running, and then sudden reboot... JLK On Tuesday 20 March 2001 17:39, you wrote:

Yes, but a pain in the butt when you've just written a thousand word essay, that hasn't been saved, ouch. Jerry Kreps wrote:

OR, you spent two hours making changes to a VFP form, only to have it disappear while you watch. JLK

Give him a copy of 7.1 , it rocks , and have him install it , Its real close to taking the desktop , very close , as in almost there ! I just lookked at my linux samba server and noticed its still on 6.2 and has been running flawless , so much so I have not wnated to tinker with it , or even had to tinker with it since I set it up. Frankly I see no need to update that box , and have been updateing the desktop boxes that are used on theclent side. server just humms along. On a side note , my two boys 9 and 10 stoped by and commented on the kde2 desktop asking what that was . To make a long story short , I let them play a few of the games. I took home the suse 7.1 DVD and slaped it on my hoime pc blowing away an old back up 4 gig partion and installed it. Loaded up a bunh of games , and let them have there way with it. Fumy thing , this morning they asked my why it dod not crash like win98 does. Nice to know that they cant srew up the system with a few erent mouse and menu click. posted a note on the pc so my wife can get back into windows. that has
stopped completely!
