:-( I always thought Vista was the ugly prototype and Windows 7 would become the lean new system, that brings back the fun. No, that brings the fun. There was never much fun in Windows, although I personally like the mere surface of Vista. > > "Server stable" in ISP terms of course not.

As a developer I can react immediatly, if something goes wrong. The admins can't. http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Prefix/Cygwin I have done much progress with the evaluation of the Prefix bootstrapping process meanwhile. That was 4 weeks work to solve all issues. In a few days I will put that all into one big script. Then I will see, if the whole process will go through over night or where instabilities will occur. In that case I will be able to report more details of instabilities.
