At Microsoft the largest domain is NORTHAMERICA. It runs production code but they switch to (for example) Windows 2003 and the latest Exchange at least a year before the products are released. Microsoft.com switched to Windows 2003 at least 9 months before it was released. They also run a domain called NTDEV, aka "Dogfood." This is equivalent to Sid. They use it for all sorts of development things. So running sid on development or intranet servers might be useful. But Tim is 100% right for "outward facing, it has to work" servers. But there are some servers where reliability isn't the highest goal. But the bar is pretty high for doing something stupid like running Sid on a server. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
