On the other hand, the MkLinux we have running on a dedicated MAC 7600 has been running for as long as 130+ days at a time without crashing. My chief worry was not just my sites, which I am moving, but I was concerned about the stunted growth of our online courses, which are all on the FLC server (once bitten, twice shy). YES, the Linux is like the new Mac OSs because they are built on kernels not unlike those in MkLinux. If I am not mistaken, some of the MkLinux.org pages come out of the Globe-Gate server, because David Gatwood (now in graduate school in California) is the External Development Coordinator.
