Fixed.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

My comparison, stripped of the fluff, was commercial vs. community supported. If you can't see my point just because I use Microsoft as an example, switch it with Red Hat or SuSe. It still ends up...

And what would this "contingency plan" be, hmmm? ;)

A failover cluster would be far more expensive than a support contract, and is yet another thing to maintain. You could restore the cluster to a...

That's what I'd do ;)

It's still just as expensive as a Microsoft solution, if not moreso ;)

Well, let's try another example:

You are an administrator of a mission-critical server cluster that must remain up at all times. Suddenly and without warning, clients are no longer able to...

/usr/bin/locate

:D

If you'll examine the original context, the poster complained about not being able to control what starts up when Windows boots. I replied showing him how to do so. Piix replied saying that most...

I never did like Windows' reliance on the registry. It makes it a real ***** to fix.



I have had repeatable OOPs with the latest Gentoo installer and older Slackware discs that have left Linux...

To each his own, I suppose. I've had kernel OOPSes on several machines for various reasons, and although the KERNEL went on, the system was no longer stable. I would rather have the computer go down...

Name calling? You lost me here.



NTFS has been available since NT 3.51.



Kind of like how Red Hat 6.0 or any other distro that is no longer supported would have a difficult time adapating...

Ignorance is not an excuse.



NTFS is a "journalized" file system, and has been for over 10 years.



By default, C:\winnt\system, C:\winnt\System32, and C:\program files all have the exact...

Sounds like someone else was cancelling the scandisk for quite a while.

It doesn't change file systems, but if you want to use NTFS, you can convert it.

convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

Win98 managed to overclock your hard drive?

Neat trick :p

Uh huh :rolleyes:

Think of FAT32 as ext2, and you haven't shut down your OS properly (wether or not it's something you did or a fault of the OS is irrelavant). Both of them will go through a...

I'm not sure. I don't use FAT32, since I see no good reason to.

Windows XP, unlike the 9x series, doesn't do a scandisk after every bad shutdown, it does it only when there is inconsistency in the file system. Had you let it complete, it would've probably...

DerekKraan, most of those issues have been addressed in the NT line.



If you want to prevent apps from starting, remove them from the startup folder or from the registry at...

Scenerio 1: Client uses software that requires SQL Server for some reason.

Scenerio 2: Client has no employees capable of supporting any database other than SQL Server.

Scenerio 3: Client...

Linux could have every game made in the past 5 years and it would still be a small niche.

Linux has been a viable contender for years, yet Windows still a total lock on the desktop market, and is quite competitive in the server market. I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but saying that...

Microsoft has a lock on the market. If the majority of people use their stuff, it can't possibly be obsolete ;)

Most of your CD-ROMs and probably the ATM you use have Microsoft techology. The *nix distro you use probably has software and kernel modules that interface with MS technology. I'm sure that some of...

MS technology is very prevalent. You would have to live the life of a hermit to avoid using it ;)
