Unix in general measures uptime in months or years, not days or weeks as Windows does.

it's statements like that make linux users out to be complete asses.

i've got 2 XP boxs that have never been down ever. they are always on and never crash.

98 on the other hand........well we all know.

i love my two linux boxs(pclinuxos)but lines like that are just plain stupid.

It has always seemed odd to me that people who can't manage a system consider themselves qualified to advise others.

I manage Server 2000, Server 2003 and until last week, an NT4.0 box.

None of these required rebooting except for hardware maintenance. I'm talking about up times of six months or more, most of it without any intervention at all.

People who are having problems should not be handing out advice.
