I'm a newbie three years running, I support an accounting application running on HP-UX. When I made the decision to purchase the HP-UX for our app I knew very little about Unix/Linux. I knew it's reputation for stablity. I figured if it never fails there isn't much to now about it.
So three years in I have had to shutdown this server all of maybe six times and 4 of them where because HP hardware failed not the OS.
My opinion go with any version of Linux/Unix, you won't be sorry. Received on Thu Nov 21 2002 - 01:52:18 CET
