Re: UNIX vs NT

Sybrand:

Thanks for suggestion my site. Much appreciated!

Question: a while back, I added a article about storage management, when to do reorgs and when not to, etc. You seem to be very knowledgeable, so I'd really like your feedback on that article. Please take a look when you get an opportunity, if you wouldn't mind. Go here http://www.ipass.net/~davesisk/oont_performance.htm , then click on "storage" on the left frame.

Thanks and regards,
