It depends on how you define reliable. A solid piece of software with defects that are the same, if not less than something you would pay for? Then yes, Linux is as reliable as Windows. If you're looking for customer support like Microsoft provides, you'd be happy with Linux too, since companies like Red Hat, SuSE and others provide such support services - for a price. That said, the world's most popular web server (Apache) was written, and is mostly deployed on Linux (or similar OSes). And yes, most people who run it use the free version because there IS no paid version to speak of. - Viksit -- Viksit Gaur viksit at aya dot yale dot edu http://viksit.com Just because you have a mind like a hammer doesn't mean you should treat everyone else like a nail - Terry Pratchett ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
