Server platforms and operating systems: Reg readers speak

You missed one 

You did not mention OS/2 Warp Server.

And you can stop your sniggering at the back.

This has been managing my (small) office network for 10+ years from the same hardware - a Pentium Pro IBM machine with scsi disks. A mix of OS/2 and Win desktop and laptop clients.

I said... "stop sniggering!!!"

Up time? I dunno. Months. Years maybe. Last time I re-started I don't remember but was probably when the building management wanted to check the aircon system at the weekend. Should I even know this if my server does the business?

Oh yeah I've peed around with other systems. Latterly Mac OS/X Server. Does what OS/2 server has been doing without maintenance for years.

Yawn.
