cyrax:
ah yes,

I use XP on my laptop because it was designed for XP. if i tried to put linux on it i would have so much conflict problems i would end up taking it out to the garage and hitting it with a hammer and chisel. i use windows 2000 advanced server on my main pc and i have a linux box connected to the net and everything else connects to the linux box.
once again get your story straight little man
  ;)

Huh? I have computers (Linux computers) to do my 24x7 monitoring for me.  In fact they even monitor all the Windows servers.  They know when the hard drives are getting full, they know when there are critical messages in the event logs. They know when the processors are maxed out. They know when a service is down. They know when there is a router problem. They know if someone is trying to hack the firewall. They page the appropriate admins to fix their little Windows problems when they occur. They graph the traffic on all the router interfaces. They know when viruses are being passed around the network, they know when John Q. Public is surfing porn. And they still find time to act as Windows NT File and Print servers.

Tools I use for the above:
http://www.netsaint.org/
http://www.bb4.com/
http://www.mrtg.org/
http://www.snort.org/
http://www.cert.org/kb/acid/
http://www.samba.org/

And guess what? All for only the cost of the hardware. Maybe you could make a difference in your company by getting rid of some of those M$ servers and saving them a bundle. You might even get a promotion.

i have nothing against linux voidman, it is just not appropriate for a network of over 1000 xp laptops, get my drift?

voidmain:
Who would have a network of over 1000 XP laptops?  It's approapriate for me with 2500 NT workstations and over 200 NT servers. I would imagine it would be just as appropriate for your network.

cyrax:
oh and isn't it a shame that BB4 is available on NT4 and 2000 platforms.
