I'll say that NT requires more resources than an equivalent Unix box,
BUT that
stability has more to do with who you have as a sysadmin than anything
else. I've
got MetaInfo DNS and sendmail running on one server, along with Netscape
Suitespot
and a bunch of other stuff. I've had some difficulty with NS 3.0i
(server) which
I'll be upgrading, but other than that it works great. (p.s. it doesn't
stop the
server or cause instability, it just doesn't handle log file switches
gracefully).
