Novell servers with uptimes > over a year are commonplace...PC bus, spinning media and all. Yeah, and look at the sort of performance you (don't) get out of them. Note also the amazing amounts of money people like Compaq charge for their "Novell Server" products, as opposed to what you pay for J. Random Klone. (I have a couple of friends who administrer large Novell networks. They have just the same sort of trouble with PC hardware, only they have an easier out because the Man From Novell just comes in and says "It's not certified for Novell", or "It's just a hardware problem" and they go complain to their vendor. They don't get a chance to doubt the software, or any useful error messages from it...) > Dennis -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
