I too agree with David for the most part.
The vast majority of my systems are Windows-based, though I've dabbled in
Linux (to setup Nagios, for example), and in general it seems...
It seems that Windows "just runs" right out of the box. There is very

Oh yes. And if you can establish a solid and respected peer
FWIW, I've seen various types of drive failures:
- Our IBM RS/6000 B50 servers were infamous for losing both
internal drives within 24-36 hours of a data center brownout.
Rather reliable in that respect. :P Not a single data center,
either.

well, clear information that I'm not remembering correctly is a benfit as
well. I really don't want to replace 300+ drives (especially out of
budget), and if I don't have to do so and don't have to worry about having
lots of failures take me down.

I seem to remember seeing some studies in the last few years about hard
drive failure rates, specifically addressing the trend for drives to fail
en-mass starting several weeks _after_ a datacenter AC failure.
However, I don't remember where I saw this, so I was wondering if anyone
could point
I've noticed that the vast majority of sys admins who are heavily involved
in the online community and the real-life community (i.e. professional orgs
like LOPSA) seem to be Linux admins. Why is it that Linux admins tend me to
