Featuritis....lmao.....How true is that!
Win2k is STABLE...we will not be switching OS's for quite some time.
Hell, we wont be upgrading to XP anything. So much for Freedom of Information.
Microsoft has made OUR lives easier, and easier....cuz we get paid to play with their stuff.
e'nuff said.
Elitist...Jumped on who? Irritate me? Nah....It loks like i Irritated you .
BTW isn't this a forum? Go pick on another newbie...you bully
retfarcratS: listen, for those of us who badmouth MS... no we couldnt personally build something better.... but like i said before, i think MS could do more to secure its system, and its Apps..... true RedHat has ALOT of holes, but atleast because its open source we know how to patch them. Thats why RedHat that the moment is my OS of choice.... although i havent used windows in over 3 months when in get my new servers im gonna turn this server into a workstation dualboot RH and XP, just cus ni dont HATE windows, i just wouldnt use it as my main and only OS
you guys are great.
I really only started this thread as a devil's advocate test.
thank you for the many insights....you too TechieChick...not personal ok?
I believe now, i will try RH out...I never have...where can I start?
RetfarcratS..none taken. I can be a caustic wench at times, ask anyone that has dealt with me in IRC. :D
I would suggest starting here for RedHat and here for linux iso's.
If you are using those Win2k boxes in a production environment (read: business) then prepare to lose your MS Support come July 31. Oh and btw, I hope you like "subscription" software if you want to keep using MS products. :)Quote:

Now don't get me wrong here. I neither like MS, nor do i despise them. But as soon as another OS comes along that does what I need it to do, then I'll be leaving windows. Change is good.
here's an idea...what if we did not upgrade.
I firmly believe that MS Win2k, Office 2k, and such is more than enough to sustain a production environment for many years to come.
Really what else do they (endusers) need to be productive.?
Fundamentals are Fundamentals....a word processor cant change all that much...speadsheets...presentations...etc.
Can I get an amen people?
No
retfarcratS> I read a book back in college. It was called something like "Program your own 32 bit Operating System." Not sure what ever happend to the book and I can't find it any more. Anyway, it takes you through the steps of how an OS works. It was based on Minix, and by the time you were done with the book, you had basically rewritten Minix. In other words, I have build something better then MS.....
Was that book written by Andrew(?) Tanenbaum?
