"For a truly stable network OS I prefer Netware... I have client 4 servers running well over 2 years now without a single restart."

You got that right. I've been building and maintaining Netware servers for so many years that I've lost count. Started with Netware 2.1, now on 6.5. Good OS that. I even know a guy who uses it as a workstation OS at home. That said, I do have a Win2K3 server that hasn't hiccuped in a really long time, probably 3 years since we first fired it up and it's never gone down or needed a restart that I can recall. Also got a Win2K server that's been behaving nicely for even longer. Now THAT said, I've got an NT4 server that shits the bed on a monthly schedule.

People that crash Linux/GNU have no business within 100 feet of a computer. You either gotta be really stupid or do it on purpose. It's been stable for me for God only knows which version - I started out with BSD in 1990. I prefer Suse, Redhat and Fedora Core over the other distros I've played with. Suse's gotten really good since Novell bought it, BTW.
