Well the copmpany intranet was on a P133 (non mmx), P100-S running
NT3.51 with uptimes in the 6-8months range.
Do I like winders? W9x is crap and NT4 is not too bad. But if you
dealing with 40 clients that have useres that barely can run MSWord
never mind any unix. Running unix with win9x clints is a royal pain
for many apps and a blessing for others. Also it pays the bills.
My choice here is NT4 and it does work well for me. Linux hasn't
what I want as a desktop system just yet though Caldara
Openlinux2.3 is ok but it doesnt run GCADD6.1, Xylinx developer,
Delphi-5, or Paradox or MYZ80 for examples. If I needed something
I could run email, netscape WP-8 on, sure it's ok. IT's about
applications investment and database investment.
>Anyway... It did run Win95 on it until I gave it the BSD exorcism.
Likely the W9x tendancy to eat itself is why it needed BSD. ;)
I hate win9x.
