Hare site didn't crash !! (Score 1)

The most normal reaction of a normal server to a slashdot story is to throw a tantrum at all the attention it is receiving and pack up for the day. At the least, I can credit the software creators to have set up a good system with reasonable bandwidth for the server. But okay, it will take a lot more to actually get me to try that stuff.

At my company, I'm using XP and find that it works best when you do the following.

1. Disable system restore facility
2. system properties - advanced - performance - check best performance.
3. Check swap file settings to suitable size.
4. remove hibernation option
5. remove eye-candy :: desktop fancies
6. use firefox for internet access, initially slow as cache is built up ......
7. remove indexing service
8. and yeah, get rid of bonzi buddy, yahoo bar, lycos bar, msn explorer, outlook express, etc, :D

Cheers,
Arun.
