The original comment was that a Mac > wouldn't be able to run for any length of time while doing *anything*. Nope. Dan posted some uptime numbers for multiuser Solaris servers to show people that Unix most often is a very stable OS capable of handling multiple users at a long time whithout a single crash. You replied to Dan's posting by telling a story of a Mac being used for serving some files to a local mac network. I replied by saying that I don't think that's a good comparison. Like it or not, that's still my opinion. > A print/file server, while not a heavy-duty job, is definitely something. I agree that it's something, but it's still not the same thing as running multiple users on a Solaris machine.
