NetWare is good at what it does. Don't get me wrong, I'm an admin for a network with approx. 90 nodes, and have more NT machines than any other server OS. Heck, I'm also currently working towards a degree as a W2K admin. Our two mirrored NetWare 4.11 servers have around a 160 day uptime right now, and they're used in a nearly 24x7x365 environment (newspaper publishing). I have NEVER seen an NT machine that didn't have to be rebooted for whatever reason after more than 2 or 3 months. Most common offender seems to be the spooler service, stopping and starting it doesn't help sometimes. For those who are about to say "But W2K is an improvement on NT!", I agree, but I'm comparing two server OS's from the same time period, NetWare 4.x and NT 4.
