CGarcia, Can you explain what is meant by this? Sure Linux never crashes...that's just because you can't run 100 programs on it at the same time. Is it not a variant of Unix? If so is there any restriction on how many programs one can run as a separate process rather than a as task? (I know on typical unix system there is a limit on how many processes the OS can spawn based on its process table size and memory constraints.) Just curious. If LINUX is meant for server market, they must be able to handle large instances o different or same processes. I am at lost. May be you can explain that 100 programs part. Thanks in advance, -Nat
