Here are the stats from our colocation facility: Windows NT 4 4.5% Windows 2000 13.5% Windows XP 28.5% Linux 44.0% *BSD 3.0% Mac OS X 4.5% Others 2.0% QDOS/SMSQ 0.0% This only includes machines we have stats for. The most telling thing for us is that the number of *dows boxes and *n*x boces is about equal, but we receive seven times more calls to restart *dows machines. These figures are collated weekly, and in every week the number of *dows boxes has declined and the number of *n*x boxes increased. Considering customer churn, the number of Windows machines is remaining constant and the number of Linux machines is increasing by about 30 a week. Having said all that, I think we've gone horribly off-topic. Why not check out the 'last try' thread ;) Dave, grinning madly. _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List
