crisjon1950: Norton is good stuff. It's saved my fanny a time or three also... Soulhuntre: Agree that a lot of the "pro-linux" folks out there are "anti-M$" as much as anything else, but UNIX in it's variations (including linux, BSD, Solaris, etc.) have been around as multi-threaded network operating systems since the early '70s. Yes, there are some un-stable versions, but a Unix administrator will think nothing of a server that's been humming along for years without a reboot or crash. A Windows administrator will brag about being up for weeks. Windows, on the other hand, has tried to be "user friendly" since it's creation. Unix flavors have only been focusing on that for a couple of years. It's only natural that windows is a more common interface for users, because it's easier to use. Just like it's only natural that Unix (and its varients) are preferable for network servers because of their stability.
