Isn't that what we all want? No downtime. I know some people that are very proficient at doing upgrades and such that the minimum time required is almost limited by the speed of their internet connection and the speed of their processors. --- Jason -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Tim Erlin Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 14:13 To: SILVER, MICHAEL A; 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Subject: RE: uptime limits Wouldn't a more meaningful measure be downtime? Has anyone put together info on how much downtime, as a percentage, is required for regular upgrades/maintanence for different OSes. That would allow one to distinguish between downtime that's expected and downtime that isn't (e.g. crashes). I would think that would be an important distinction. --Tim --- "SILVER, MICHAEL A" wrote: > It is mostly marketing.
