Woohoo!!!

[Charles A. Reynolds]

I work for a small retailer and run a mixed environment.  Red Hat and win 98
we also have an NT server.  I believe that the servers, yes both, have been
up and running for more than 7 months each.  No problems with either OS
except their inherent deficentcies.  Lack of applications on Linux and
Viruses on Windows.
