My CEO, who used to be in the army, gave me a mouthful when our NT system
went down and made some comment about - what would we do if this was mission
critical...
it was with great pleasure that i thrust that article under his nose.
The story was published in the (usually) freebie U.S. weekly magazine,
Government Computer News, about two weeks ago. I can't remember the exact
issue but I certainly can post a copy of the article if anyone wants it.

Not if it behaves the way the _Yorktown_ is reported to have failed. For
a CG-47 class ship to be off-line for 2+ hours is unacceptable. Period.
They, their sailors, and the ships they protect (and their sailors) are
too damn valuable to be vulnerable that long.

of users and require high levels of security and reliability. At
present, these capabilities are available in UNIX-based systems but not
in Windows 95 or Windows NT.'

1. Any examples of Linux in Real Time uses Was RE: NT stops nvay ship dead
Are there any examples of Linux being used in real time, mission
critical situations? there are lots of general purpose servers,
simulations etc, and while I've read a few medical uses, are there any
uses we could point to and say Linux works, NT sucks - see?
