Well for one thing linux is not crap, I know a lot of people who are using Linux, and I will tell you that getting Linux running as a web server or mail server is much easer than NT. Not to mention I heard about somone running a mailserver on a 486/66 with 16 mb of ram and it was handling 70,000 messages a day. Dont try that with NT. (Hell NT probably will not even run on that machine. I have used both NT and Linux, and from experience I will say that Linux is much faster and much more stable. --Zach Kessin > > >2.
