Does anyone here think that Writing FOSS applications for Win32
would be a good presentation topic for a LUG meeting? Is anyone

interest there is, though.

You didn't. Complexity spontaneously generates from the ether. :)
However, using the CentOs box as a gateway/router is not allowed on my

Good analysis. I'll go check this out. One of the reasons originally
given to me was they did not want the possibility of ever having a
DHCP server [mine] getting attached to the corporate network. I don't
blame them, but I would think there are alternate ways to ensure this.

You're obviously not installing all your security updates, then.

Yes, Ben is trying to say that it's not the length of your uptime, but how you
use it.
No one is buying it though.

Got to agree with Ben here. While it's bad if a server can't go 24 hours
due to an OS-level problem, it's also inaccurate to say that a long
uptime implies high service availability. This is doubly so if you are
hosting software: not only does your service need to be available, but
it needs to

There is no question continuity of service is more important than uptime
alone. I guess I'm just being a rube, addmittantly so, because I'm impressed

the big picture of service availability.
