Scott,
NT? I think the habaneros and tequila have finally taken over...
;)
Seriously, stay away from NT. I have the unfortunate task of monitoring a few minor databases on NT in addition to my Unix ones, and I hate every minute of it. The locks it places on open files prevent you from doing a lot of things with the database up, it has to be rebooted every month, and it is a nightmare to administer remotely. We use pcAnywhere which only allows one user in at a time. I curse NT and Gates every day...
