It is also interesting to note that the latest RH and debian all do the same things as the older versions, but need twice or more the resources to do it...
I call bullshit. Can I see a list of your benchmark figures and the software vesions you used? Assuming sufficient RAM to run a recent kernel (and it ain't *that* much that you'll need) I'm pretty certain you can use a Pentium-100 to run a Debian intended for a headless machine running daemons only without much trouble.
Since you mentioned mickysoft, allot of people are still running NT3.5 & NT4 on there OLD pentium platforms, as a server, and in same cases as a work station, and shock horror mickysoft still support them.
Are you kidding? When was the last time you saw a security bulletin for 3.5? I remember there was some security issue that affected NT4 as well as newer Windows version for which MS did not produce a fix for NT4. So all your claims notwithstanding, NT4 is pretty close to gone, as far as Microsoft is concerned. * DrWho? <x_files_(a)ihug.co.nz> [2004-04-06 04:08]:
Microsoft still offer paid support for NT.
All publicly citeable sources prove the opposite. I will assume you're just blathering about until proven otherwise. -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
