So you point out very effectively that you are not on a mission critical or 24x7 operation of a size that makes you very relevant. Those specs leave little for real performance and running on windows means you are pretty sure to require once a month or more downtime and a lot of vetting time to verify your patches don't break the DB. Wasn't MS SQL server one of the apps broken by xp sp2? Anyone who needs stability can't trust something that runs on windows. It doesn't matter if it is bug free, it rides on bugs. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
