Ah, but the difference is that the average "unix" box can: a) be set up to be a lot more "admin-free" 2) requires a lot less hands on admin iii) can be dial-up admin'ed a lot more easily. And Linux costs less than NT. Cost is the most common reason that gets touted for using NT. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
