The ONE single thing that makes NT unuseable in critical applications is that you need to reboot it to make any system changes. Need to re-number a nic? Reboot. Need to upgrade some software? Reboot. The definition of mission critical would include "Maximum uptime". Needing to reboot to change a minor configuration item or add software is unbelievable. It's 1999 MS, can you please make an OS that you don't need to turn off in order to make a change. I run LINUX..... problem solved!

A good mix of NT and Unix (Linux) makes the best overall systems. IMHO ;-)
I won't use NT anywhere that's even close to mission critical. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456
