Hi!

...

I also need some testimonials about Zope's rock-solid(?) stability...

I ran Zope 2-3-1 for months without problems and only retired it (with the 2-4-3 version) just last week. Thus, it ran from the time that the 2-3-1 version came out until last week without a single crash. The only times I restarted it was when I added/changed a new product. The longest uptime for that instance of Zope was 53 days. It has never hung on me. It has never crashed or refused a request. Splendid performance. Note, the same instance of Zope was running both in production and as a development box. Not exactly the wisest move, by my firm hasn't seen fit to give me a second box. I was able to get away with that, however, because Zope is a solid product. By the way, I've been running Zope on Linux. As of 6:46 pm (Central time) that Linux box had an uptime of over 137 days. It pays to have a stable OS. Being a longtime monitor of this list, I've noted that many of the stability problems of Zope can be attributed to the OS or the specific settings for the OS. IMHO. Ron
