"Months without rebooting"? That is certainly not something to brag about. With three of my installations of Zope on Linux I have the machines at 194, 204 and 55 days of uptime (and the 55 was because of a bad powerstrip, the other others have been up since I brought them up). While NT can and does stay up for long periods of time, it still is a very poor server choice as anything you install leads to a reboot. I have installed countless things on the Linux boxes and never brought it down. That is the difference and makes all the difference when it comes to a website. J

sorry if this is offtopic, but i see reference of rebooting every so often with NT( and maybe W2K). is this real? or FUD? i use linux myself and would like to confirm this from all you guys' experience
It's FUD. I'M running Zope on two NT servers here, which run many months between reboots. I just checked - the Zope on the intranet server has an uptime of 34 days 8 hours 32 min 3 sec now.
This tells us that I installed Zope 2.2.2 three days after it was released on www.zope.org. :-)
Do I miss important tasks? Has anybody done this before?
Yeah.. rebooting NT every 4 days. :)
