Well, seems Yahoo is still at the top of the heap...and guess what they run?
I'll give you a hint, it ain't Windoze, it's something that is deseased (sic).
In fact, a lot of the high traffic sites, for the ones that can be discerned,
are running some flavor of *nix:
www.yahoo.com - FreeBSD
www.altavista.com - Compaq TRU64 UNIX
www.aol.com - Solaris
The other problem is, Microsoft has access to their own source, you could say
it's almost like open source, but just for them...that makes a difference. I'd
like to see someone like Yahoo, without M$'s "help", create a M$ solution
for their site.
The fact of the matter is, if *nix suddenly disappeared, the Internet
would no longer function...that isn't necessarily so for Windoze...sure, a
lot of clients wouldn't work anymore, but connections and servers would still
be going strong...'cept for M$ and Lycos of course.
What I'm getting at is a proven track record...something that Windoze just
does not have in server world.
Microsoft and Lycos implemented a high-usage site using Microsoft tools. Good
for them. Now Microsoft just needs a proven track record to convince people
to go with their tools. They've come a long way, baby, but they have a long
way to go before people who are in the know will just take Microsoft's word
for it when M$ says they have server-class systems.

Funny. I look up at the subject line and see "Linux can physically
destroy your hard drive!" I search the LWN article in question, and I
fail to find that phrase anywhere. In fact, I fail to see anything about
Linux doing physical damage to hard drives. I see something about code
that can be run under Linux to instruct a drive to destroy itself. The
two are obviously not the same thing.
On the contrary, it is most likely the open development model of Linux
that allowed this information to be brought out to the public. And this
information is of use to anyone who uses IDE drives, under any operating
system. We're all vulnerable. (Fortunately, those of us who use OSes
that emply actual security aren't really, unless we want to do it to
ourselves.)
: I never said it couldn't run under Windows (but I don't often run
: as administrator under W2K anyway).
That's exactly what you implied. You said that "Linux can physically
destroy your hard drive." The obvious implication is that, if you're not
running Linux, you're not running the thing that can physically
destroy
your hard drive.
: Take your anger to lwn.com if you don't like what you read here, I
: didn't create it.
No one has a problem with the information posted at LWN. It's your
obviously dishonest spin that people don't like.
BTW, it's lwn.net, dumbass.

John,
Funny how you've used the same analogy, "toaster," that I've used from time
to time. Everyone wants a "toaster." May God grant their wish!
Windows, unfortunately, has never quite made it to that vaunted status....
My parents were married in 1949. One of the wedding presents they received
was a Revere toaster. They still use it. It makes toast just as well now
as it did in 1949. They both get their toast.
On the other hand, my parents got their first computer last winter. Windows
'98. I advised them to get Windows NT (more robust), but I was overruled.
Anyway, they're having a rough time with their anti-toaster.
Don't worry. I wasn't thinking of imposing Linux on my poor parents, ages
87 and 80.
Thanks for your response.
Cheers,
John

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a demand dial network server set up that serves
2 computers here at my house. 1) my personal box and
2) my roommates box. Funny thing is is that windoze
spews so many packets across my local ethernet wire
that demand dial seems to be always in demand.
So with that I set out to see just what windoze does
to cause such a racket on the ethernet.
Whip out the ol copy of tcpdump fire it up and low and
behold this is what windoze 98 is trying to do....
Making inquiries for netbios resolution on all 3 netbios ports.
Upwards of 30 times each on 2 of the ports.
Trying to confirm the dns. Multiple times for each defined
dns server. When that fails it then goes into some weird
cache it has and starts draging out hostnames from network
neighborhood (some of these from taking my computer to a lan
gaming party) and starts trying this process all over with the host names
from nethood plus the localy defined domain. These of course are rejected
as host unreachable. Does it ever give up. NOPE. I killed tcpdump when the
log file got close to 40k in size.
So then I thought I would give being a DHCP server a shot. Nope. As soon
as windows gets the information it starts spewing packets.
The only packets to come out of my personal linux box are the packets that
are used with the mounting and use of NFS and the local networks RIP.
In other words only what I tell it to do.
How the hell do you winadmins deal with this crap?

Then you'd be surprised to hear that the top 5 of the latest TPC-C
Performance results use Windows 2000. Plus the top 10 TPC-C

Now that is a problem. As this was a contract bid, obviously there will
be no such link.
But, why don't you drop by at:
220 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor
New York, NY
We'll then take a short walk to another building where the IT staff will
fill you in on all of the juicy details.
But, just like what I told JTK, you take care of your own fare and
lodging (unless you already live in the Big Apple).
And just for showing up, I'll treat you to a really nice lunch at Le
Halles.
Jun Nolasco
P.S. JTK - the same deal applies to you.
