Wow!!! I'm glad I didn't get my MCSE - I set up Linux, NetWare 5,
and NT4 Server (including IIS) in an evening for a class I was
teaching. It was actually easier to set up NT4 than NW5. After
setting up NT & Linux, we surfed the default web sites just to make
sure they worked, which they did.
In my practice before the class, IIS would not work, so I was all
prepared for a botched install, so when it worked, the students
really say no difference between an NT setup and a Linux setup.
