But I can offer some words of encouragement. As far as linux stability is concerned, you needen't be. I'm sure that others will bear me out. I have servers here that have been running continuously for months and only are down when I am playing with the hardware. I abandoned NT4 and the horrid blue screen death over a year ago. I only have windows running on 1 system for banking connections and that will disappear before the YUCK-2-K thing happens. Now for the important stuff;
The entire Mexican University/Secondary School/ and Intermediate Schools labs system is being set up to run on linux. This is an ongoing project that will involve over 2500 separate computer labs and most of the University system. That means their whole public school system is going to linux! NASA runs several labs and recearch facilities on linux servers. Point is your in good company. I would be interested in seeing updates on your project when you have time. Good Luck! -- John Foster AdVance-Computing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED]
