Good for FreeBSD advocacy, I suppose, but to hell with WinNT from my
standpoint. I hate Windows NT 4.0 and would actually rather use Win95
(OSR2, with patches) for most kinds of desktop-type uses, given the choice
between the two. Ask anyone with regular NT4 experience on multiple
machines about its stability and you'll find that it's a myth. Sometimes
NT4 crashes while simply running a screensaver. I personally despise it -
I won't have it on any of my machines, period.
Oh, did I mention that NT4 is a bloated pig, even in 64 megs RAM? I once
did a test on my 64 meg machine, I set up just a 10 meg swap file as an
experiment (giving NT 74 megs RAM to work with), and with only Netscape
running (with a 1024k memory cache), got an error message that NT was out
of memory and to close some applications {boggle}....
