I would not work for any group that regularly reboots their servers. It is a sign of incompetancy. I don't care if they are NT servers or Linux. Rebooting daily or even weekly is a sign of trouble. It is a band aid to last until the problem is resolved. It is not a fix. There have been production NT servers running for long periods of time as well. While you are sweating running the Linux servers from the console, perhaps you should worry about how you will run the NT servers. Got news - the cost of a screen reader is quite high. And unlike Unix varients, there are things you must use the console to do. (Though even these are not routine items.) ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net
