NT, IMHO, has far too much overhead to be a webserver. FreeBSD is lean and mean and is better suited, in my humble but newbie opinion. As for rebooting, I reboot my NT box more often than my FreeBSD box. I reckon FreeBSD is more secure as a webserver as everyone has the code [think about it before you reply]. And fixes come out way faster than for NT. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
