    Did you read the post? "Under heavy load" What kind of stress is this machine under? And, I'm talking about mass production servers, not a gateway or personal server running at home or a small corporate server. Jeremy Falcon Imputek

      I see you posted the bit about MSQL earlier. Maybe I should start reading from the bottom up when I'm catching up on the days events at CP.

          Yes guys (with Apologies to everyone on the ocassion of International Apology day). My three year home machine (PII 450Mhz, 256 MB) can't do any development work anymore for .NET as everything requires NT/XP/2000 and it has Windows ME. I don't want to spend any money purchasing a new machine. The solution Linux. I installed linux. It comes with all kind of development tools and languages (and source code). I think it has better multi tasking as I can still build a project and continue to do something else in my machine. I love X-Windows as I can get any look and feel I want from it. It recognizes my CD-RW drive where as Windows fails to do so. Linux rocks! (No I am not going to say that Windows sucks)

          Hey, since everyone seems to be talking about Linux. Can I get some ideas from from the programmer people about Lindows (the new Os)? Thanx

                  I also don't have the money right now to afford the kind of bandwidth on my own that I get from these people. It's not my choice. If I find a better host on FreeBSD I guarantee you I'll switch. Jeremy Falcon Imputek

The scale is different on both, and it turns out google has better uptimes. The max for yahoo was 64.59 days and the max for google and linux was 171.72 days. All the other results for google such as latest uptime were almost double yahoo's.

                                I think its good someone's done it, but it pretty much undermines the whole benefit of Linux. A single Company develops its own customised version of Linux which supports (some) Windows apps, most importantly Office etc. Presumably, this is to offer consumers choice. However, the support from native Windows apps could be broken in the future and thus their support on Lindows is hindered. Not only this, but one of the biggest benefits of running Linux is that its open source, and so as soon as a problem is found, it can be fixed. Not only that, but improvements to the O/S can be shared across all the various distributions. Since Lindows is not gonna release their source code to enable support for Windows apps (otherwise, it would never stand to make any cash) it appears to have a few conflicts of interest (in my opinion). I'm not anti-Linux (and in fact have a Linux server sitting here at home), and do admire it for some things. However, I don't see how another piece of propietary software is going to revolutionise the industry. It may make things better for those considering to roll out Linux across the enterprise, but even then you're still tied into a specific Company, and is that Company likely to have the same level of support to Corporate clients? They'd need a huge amount of investment etc. Anyway, those are my few doubts about it. Great idea, be interesting to see how it pans out, although I'm being a little skeptical.
