NT4, 2000 and XP are all moderately stable, but none of them is what I would call "rock solid". I've only had XP for less than a month, but I've hung the OS several times, and hung Explorer, which is really interesting. It's certainly possible to do this with NT and 2K also. I don't consider any of these to be nearly as robust as *any* of the *nix systems I'm familiar with, including IRIX, Solaris, and DEC Ultrix. -- -------- Peter Davis Funny stuff at http://www.pfdstudio.com The artwork formerly shown as prints List of resources for children's writers and illustrators at: http://www.pfdstudio.com/cwrl.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
