If I cold keep my programmer out of the code my Linux server would be a
longer lived animal.  Our best uptime was in excess of 200 days but that
has been some time ago.  


Thank you!

[JM]: Ah, so true, as evidenced by the fact that I (and many others who
are 
primarily windows users), are using linux boxes for their server 
applications.

And Buddy continues:

"And once you get it [a linux box] working the way you want, you don't
have 
to touch it again, really."

[JM]: Again, so true. I once achieved an "uptime" of 200+ days!

Now to investigate Chris Moore's reference to the ORCA live boot-up CD! 
(Apparently he missed my inquiry about ORCA in my last post, <chide / 
smile>!
