thoughts on UNIX and older systems

Well I have. Current up time for the three NT 3.51 servers I live with
at work is over 6months. We do however have things like memory leaks from
Cold Fusion's OBDC driver that forces the running of a batch job every night
to shut that down and restart the one peice. Often the OS gets blamed for
cranky apps.

This thread is interesting to me (though OT for Classiccmp) as I plan to
introduce a FreeBSD(or linux, slakware, redhat or debian) and not haveing
much unix expereince it's an interest to me.
Personally a VMS node suits my liking.
