Sunspud you are so full of it. Linux does not do any real work in today's world, and if it could the applications can't be easily ported between Unix deviants, plenty of companies contractually guarantee uptime for Windows solutions, none do for Linux and there are millions of cooperating windows servers (crawling, single sign on, transactional, etc.) out there far exceeding the number of Linux server barely speaking to one another. Please, please get a grip if not for your own sake but for others who make actually listen to you. Keithsha

<I didn't say anything else than that those 4000 computers at Google were doing webcrawling, but that's not quite the truth. There are 4000 computers, that get web-pages, analyze these, evalutate pages based on other pages and provides this to the end-user. It's a rather complicated system, and it's a real life system> SS: I don't know about the rest of your post, but, I hopped on google for a try, and correct me if I'm wrong, but "Google" seems to be the best search engine I have seen. Its fast, accurate, and has good boolean stuff. Thanks. Duke
