Amazing what MS will do to ensure a higher version number than Netware
- who have now released version 5, which runs the IP protocol as its
native networking protocol, is actually here, not in beta, and builds
on an installed base twice the size of NT.
I had to down my Netware 3.12 server (the 386 machine with 28 MBytes of
RAM) yesterday, after 233 days continuous running...
WHy? To move it so as to give more space in the server kitchen and
hynotherapy room.
NT servers, I am informed, are rarely 386s and are unlikely to run for
so long uninterrupted.
Which NT-using clinical systems do we have so far that use the server
for anything other than file and print services - at which NT is less
good than Netware?
Only those actually running server processes that minimise the amount
of data sent over thenetwork have any excuse for either using NT or
specifying high end server hardware.
"NT - user friendly as a cornered rat" is the tagline I had heard
suggested.
However, Netware have not yet cracked the last hurdle, AFAIK it is
still not possible to play Solitaire on the server console without
installing additional software.
