Comment Not in my shop. (Score 1) 709

I won't compare apples to oranges, but we have two DNS servers in my shop. One running Windows and one running Linux. Both have gone down. The Windows one from bad updates, brute force attacks, and just running to long without a reboot. The Linux box from hard drive and hard drive controller failure and someone kicking the network cable out.

On top of that we have a Linux box runing our student network (Nocat) and that only goes down when we take it down reguadless to the amount of P2P and streaming media traffic the students push though it. Win 2k3 is the most solid OS Microsoft has put out, but I have yet to see a case where you can go more than 45 days without a reboot for something.
