Fair enough, as long as you admit it's prejudice on your part. There's a lot of history of Unix being proven stable in server applications for a lot longer than Linux has been around. You have to set up and maintain the systems, though, so go with what you're comfortable with and know best how to use. > that won't show themselves until I really, really need those backups... > (That red text right up near the top of your link? *That* is what I'm > talking about...) Yeah, but don't rely on ANY platform to "just work". If you need the backups, always get in the habit of verifying them on a regular basis. -- Steve Willoughby / st...@alchemy.com "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
