No Netscape on NT or 95/98 is no where near as stable as on a Linux or Solaris box (the two that I use most).

Correct me if I am wrong or if this has changed since they went open-source, but AFAIK Mozilla's Windows and Unix codebases were entirely independent and separately developed, so I'm not sure what conclusions you can draw from that.

I'd say the obvious one, the Unix code tree is more stable than the MS tree.

Again, let's leave the OS wars off this list. I've had NT machines up for several months and down only for patches and upgrades.

As I have, but at nowhere near the load level that Unixes can support. To get even near-mark performance requires larger hard drives, faster processors, and way more ram (2x or more in many cases). ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
