Question: What is one of the biggest numbers people look at when choosing a server operating system.
Answer: UPTIME
As published on this site many times, I'm running a Novell NetWare 5.1 Server. This baby has been on for currently (at 7:49 PM on July, 29, 2002) 122 Days, 19 hours, 28 minutes, and 10 seconds. Someone tell me thats not impressive....
The newest version of NetWare is version 6, which features HUGE improvements, and the same, and even better, reliablity.

Ummm... truthfully... it's not that impressive. I've left my computer on for weeks at a time without a problem, just don't restart... lol 
One day, we will die, when it comes...... i dunno, i'm not psychic!

Actually it is. Why? Because Mirosoft has soooooo many security and other major issue updates that restarts are required. Novell NetWare is built to last, from the box, and not from 10,000 updates. Any modern day computer can stay on for weeks, days, or years, but can they stay relitivly up to date, and secure? I don't think so.

I agree that with IBM that is how it should be.
As for Novell. I know I'm dating myself and running OLD software, but, try a Novell 4.2 server up with no reboots, no updates, no changes period, running for 4 years and still going. The only time it came close to shutting down was when power went off and the UPS almost died before they got the generator going again.
It supports 250 users and all their apps and personal folders. I guess that would be considered good.

We had a netware server that was online for 18 months almost before there was a power outage.
Novell is not that solid :p its just another *nix

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.
Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
