>>> >a site like Yahoo uses Unix on Intel servers and there is no complaints about its scalability or the lack of features from having no NT available software for it. BTW, Yahoo! (I believe) is now using Network Appliance filers for its file servers, rather than disk arrays attached to the back of the Web Server machines. Netscape does the same thing in association with its SGI and Sun web servers. (Other big ISPs as well.) <<<< Yahoo, like other popular sites are actually a mixed enviroment at its server farms. It for example uses SUN workgroup servers for handling e-mails. - Chung
