I have 3 versions and a forum running on my NT boxes.
And well I might add. Very stable.
Links or NT?? <G>
Links is stable. My stories about Windows/NT/etc. are almost too painful to recount.
I say a prayer each time I use one of my Windows systems that it survives the next key press, and that one day, it will turn into a Unix system (I keep whispering those thoughts into the microphones of my Unix boxes....). I had to reboot my Me system 3 times this morning, just running basic editor and web searches (and it's not even 11am). I'm actually about ready to kill the little monster.
I can go 3-10 months between reboots of my Unix machines, and maybe longer. I am lucky to get 3-10 hours between reboots of my Windows machines. Granted, NT lasts a bit longer, maybe a week, if I was lucky, and if I did nothing but set up my standard running "system processes" ie: BBS or Webserver.
Painfully, I was running OS/2 at the same time I first tried NT, and while my OS/2 2.0 system ran flawlessly, (10 DOS windows on a 386) the NT 3.51 kept having problems -- such as unloading the communications subsystem because I "wasn't using it" (I was running a BBS!), and killing off my 16-bit sub system in the first 60-120 minutes. The BBS software I was using chose to migrate from DOS to NT, and my OS/2-DOS system kept running (and still runs if I ask it to) while the NT system eventually caused me to shut down the BBS, and my one really lucritive operation.
My feelings are -- If you have a choice, any choice at all, pick UNIX over Windows-Anything.
Of course, those are my feelings, and yours obviously differ ;)
