Which makes this fact bubble up immediately: The case holds the power supply which is quite essential and can cause random failures when unstable (and yet this part is underestimated and made cheap to save some pennies -- and cause a lot of time and money to be wasted on the grief). And for the uptimes: Do you remember the thread about which OS runs coolest? I guess NT is the one of the above systems with the most CPU heat. Do you remember which RedHat it was (i.e. what Linux kernel) and how you judge the boxes load in terms of "continously working and thus heating" or "loaded by chance and just hand warm"? Just a thought. Maybe it helps and you can recycle an old(?) machine which is still fine for serving in the background if it's too small for a desktop and the bloatware usually found there ... virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
