Forgive me for my ignorance !!!
as I havent had enterprise experience in either NT or UNIX enviorment
But what u said made me take a notice
>>And With an intelligent Sys Admin Win NT box may be as secure as any
other unix box
As i said I dont have had any experience
but this is very much opposite to my perceprtion
of the two family of OS reffered here
Could you elaborate on your views >>
Then why the NT is consistently singled out for being such a poor system
No one says that it doesnt have good features in it
But then ???? hasnt the final word been said @ www.unix-vs-nt.org
Thanks

1. Well Win NT is actully a posix complient system with a micro kernel
So its actulla as unix like as any.
2. And With an intelligent Sys Admin Win NT box may be as secure as any
other unix box ( just got to be on lists and keep track of bugs and
fix's)
And with a B.Sys.Admin.F.H an unix box is as insecure as any other
machine
on the planet.
One of the advantage of running an open source Unix System is
that bug fix's are much fast and support is easy to find.
