I can't remember how much the new Longhorn basic is going to cost, but I'm pretty sure it won't be free. The new basic is a console only windows with no GUI. Pretty interesting idea from MS, but I don't know how well it will take off. > Are you implying I don't know my way around windows land? Should I > get me some certs to prove my knowledge?

Not at all, and I think certs are useless in general, only when places like cisco require a cisco certified person to purchase certain equipment do people need to get them. I think that is crap anyway. I think MS does a lot to force people to reboot because it is better that way for the lowest common denominator, they do a reboot because it is possible that opened files were replaced. But there are plenty of ways around that. In my case it does matter if I need to reboot because everything of importance is load balanced. > Do you run any Oracle servers? I've done it on both.

Right now I have two 9i servers that I run, and my group has 5 or 6 others. I'm going to setup a large RAC system to consolidate them all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:228797 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
