Jeez, you people are REALLY anti-MS. They finally release an OS that has the stability of 2k, plus has the software/gaming support of win9x. I have a copy of Win2k Advanced server running in my room, it runs a web server, an FTP server, and a mail server. Its actually faster than when I had RH 7.1 installed on it.

Random Story: We had a power outtage a while back, when I ran Win2kpro on my main machine and RH 7.1 on my server. My main machine rebooted, scanned itself, and loaded back into 2k. It had no loss of data integrity and was fully functional. The RH 7.1 box was FUBAR and had to be formated.

That's odd, I've probably got the worst power problems in my house than I've seen anywhere else.  And I have right now around 8 RedHat machines at my house and have been running Linux for close to 10 years now and have *never* had to reformat after a power outtage or spike.  I run many times more than that at work but everything is on UPS/Generator so I don't have a power problem there.

And you are right, there are a lot of us here at fuckmicrosoft.com that hate M$.  What are the odds of that?

Software has nothing to do with HARDWARE reaction to a power surge. Stuff gets screwd up in an otage or spike, because of the hardware malfunctioning due to severe fluctuations of power. Thats why you by a UPS and other such protective devices.

Not quite true. However, a journaling file system, such as ext3 or Reiser (sp?) both of which are available for Linux, can certainly help in these situations.

seriously, no offence intended, Bateleur, but i thought that was very funny...

PS, i had your WinXP desktop wallpaper on my work Mac all last week, but i don't like the look of all those little windows buttons, so i took it off. Nice silver ship picture though!
