Thanks for applying those patches Geir.
On the Linux remark: I want to try it for some years. I already
worked a (very little) bit with Unix systems and - more
important - with people that knew how to use them. So, I am
aware of the advantages... but I am also too much aware of the
time it will take to learn it.
The last advantage I got aware of, was on how much more stable
Linux is. Here, at my job, people consider normal never having
to reboot a server that - to make things harder - generates a
load of dynamic content. Last year, our most loaded server was
rebooted _once_... intentionally (a kernel upgrade or something
like that).
Now, any Windows NT experienced guy reboots a loaded NT4 server
weekly or every other week just to be sure that the software
running on it doesn't crash. (There is a saying that crashing a
piece of software on Windows is just a matter of time - which,
fortunately, is getting longer but is still measurable.)
Anyway, Open Source stuff and Cygnus are giving me a start.
Back to good old command line tools... but for something better
than DOS.
Have fun,
Paulo
