I didn't ask you to agree with me. I make a living admining Unix, Windows and Netware servers, the windows has always needed the most hand holding and rebooting. I will give everyone 2k3, It most certainly requires much less rebooting then any other windoze product I have ever used before.
Just because windows may be easier to setup initially doesn't mean it is a more reliable system in the long run. I've worked with Netware, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Red Hat, Suse, Caldera, Turbo Linux, Slackware, Dos, Windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME, 2k, XP and 2k3. |

BeOS. No there was an operating system....

I actually still own a copy of BeOS 5 - around here somewhere... Very neat OS so long as you don't care one iota about security. I actually used that as a desktop for a little while.

One of the secrets to a super-stable windows box is having a LOT of ram. If it's swapping out to the hard drive a lot it seems to want a reboot occasionally. But if the swap-file activity is kept to a minimum... it's stable. |

I say work smarter, not harder. I use things like Spring because it frees me up from grunt work to concentrate on the real problems. |

![]() In terms of security or stability, XP matches Linux for most Sage systems, I suspect because of the nature of the people using Sage. Most of us have firewalls, routers, and patched systems so not much is going to happen. Remote Desktop provides remote access for system administration and of course, Windows is unmatched for hardware support. |

I want a linux version because it will allow me to get more performance out of my rinkydink 1.4 ghz amd t-bird and I don't like paying the MS tax.
If my school didn't give out MS OS licenses like candy I wouldn't even have the ones I have now. |

I mostly want a linux version because it would be fairly easy to make a "live" client - similar to using XPE. Boot from CF and run in ram - thus no HDD in client. Main dif is that with linux I wouldn't have to pay MS $1000...

Realistically, given a decent client and attainable set of required libraries, the linux client would be a heck of a lot more stable than any windows client could think of, and be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY cheaper. I mean, I'm currently using Damn Small Linux as a bootable environment for slapping new hard drives in old machines and using them as network attached storage. Why couldn't a decent decoder card be placed in an old machine, and pxe boot a sage linux client?
