Everything that I have seen and read would say Unix would be your better choice. NT is well suited for the small/mid range, but lacks the 'raw horsepower' for a large system. Also NT has problems scaling beyond 4 processors - I don't know how many users you have or how intensive their demands are, it may not be a problem... Received on Wed Feb 26 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
