Both of which are nonsense (imo). Any unix has so many inbuilt safeguards that it's *much* more forgiving of errors than windows -- with windows any user can easily screw up the whole machine. And as for administration, how many people have an unmaintained windows machine running for weeks, let alone months or years? The way you use windows is to run it as for as long as it works, and then reinstall. With that approach any OS is easy to administer. R.
