NT handles the job quite well. Unfortunately, most environments are not as well versed in NT and have had many problems with it. Our environment uses NT and RAS for all purposes. We have a mix of NT40, Citrix and older WINDD servers and they all run fine. We have telnet installed for a remote command line prompt. The RAS server I have been using personally has been up for 2 years. It did not have a major problem until I attempted to install Suns NFS program. It is not written well and causes problems with the system. So I use Chameleon's NFS server instead. Again if you want ease of administration and access to more applications, don't let anyone fool you. Microsoft is not on top because their product is inferior, the only complaints come from people who have little, limited or no experience with the environment. And to prove it, most people cannot tell how to shut the GUI down and just run the server with less overhead. I love my Sparc's but they are slower than my NT boxes. For all you wanna be flamers - I have 3/60's, 4/260's, 4/280's, IPC's, Sparc 2's, and Sparc 5's in my inventory. So keep you flames in your pocket for someone who does not know SunOS / Solaris.
