Ditto. I support Jared's backspace claims 100%, and I don't think he should be removed from the list. We're working on Linux (Red Hat and SUSE) and Solaris here, and we have this problem only on Linux. I've heard there are other operating systems out there besides Linux and Solaris. Is this true

Yeah, funny isn't it? I had my Sparc Station 5 up for just a few days short of a year once. During that time I added/delete/built many different pieces of open source software and ran 2 oracle databases. It crashed due to a Solaris bug that hits sometime after 248 days of uptime. Who knows,

Bruce, It's a generic bug (bug 1084273, note 118228.1) that appears to affect only Unix operating systems, most notably Solaris. I suspect that the NT architecture is different enough that it's not affected by this bug. Hopefully you'll have this figured out before another 100 days goes by, but

There isn't any known bug under NT. But there are many memory leaks and poor drivers, that tend to lead to early rebooting. In my experience. I think the worst problem with NT is not the os but the drivers, even though Even though I hate NT, for the money, it works well. But if you try to get
