That was when we created the DNS record for my first company, which ran 2/3rds on Linux...so whatever version existed back there. In Linux's favor here, though...even at that point, if you ran Linux on a *non-networked* system (ie. we had some dialup lines into it, but not networking)...that thing ran pretty much rock-solid. It wasn't until we actually put some load on her that she wouldn't run for more then a day or so at a time...

Granted, and I had a FreeBSD system running PostgreSQL up for almost 365 days before an employee accidentally hit the power switch on it instead of the one beside it *shrug* I'm not going to switch from what works for me just because Linux is better then it was 4 years ago...someday I'd like to add a second system to my home "network" running Linux, but it wouldn't be my primary system *shrug*
