About the sealed system.... This is a generic sales story of several vendors, for example I heard the same about a SIEMENS PABX told by a SIEMENS sales guy during a sales meeting, etc.
Back to LINUX, I know a GSM company who run the SMS gateway on a LINUX machine for abt one and half year till replaced with a professional ERICSSON server.

SOlarisHow long has your Solaris box been up (assuming you run one)? My Mandrake 9.9/9.1 (some upgrading from cooker) has been up for 4 months. That's pretty stable IMHO, although I've heard of linux systems up for longer than a year (longest uptime I've had was under kernel 2.2.13 something - that was over 6 months, and I shut it down).If I had Solaris, I'd have to run all over the Net looking for things like KDE, Mozilla/Netscape, audio tools, compilers, troff, etc., most likely. And although this is a Mandrake list there are plenty of other flavors of Linux to choose from.Just as an FYI - there was a Solaris box at MCI in Richardson, TX that I had to shutdown after 3 years of running without a reboot or anything - no patches - nada. The only reason it had to be shutdown was to move it from an engineer's cube into the server room. BTW, there is an OS/2 box sitting in the same building that hasn't been rebooted (from last contact a few weeks back) since 1997 when I installed DB2 on it for another engineering group. Pppffffttt! (grin)About three years ago, there was a story floating around about a *nix server at MIT that had been installed in a closet. Later, their crack building maintenance people sealed the closet off, but left the server inside where it kept on chugging away for many years. (No, they didn't bother to tell anyone what they had done.) IIRC, it was finally found during a cable rearrangement project, equipment inventory or somesuch. No MSCE's were involved. -- cmg
