[huskerlug] Re: Backups

Not to try to start anything, but that bugtoaster site doesn't say 
much...  It says Windows boxes have crashes, but that's it... I think 
everybody and their dog knows that.  It doesn't say what the computers 
are doing when they crash, or anything else related.  I think the 
average of 15-21 crashes per box in a 24 hour period is a bit high...  
I've never seen a computer (let alone an average) showing that a 
computer crashes once an hour.
Also...  this story about harddrives running MS systems dying is 
something I'd like to see... I can't say I've ever heard of a difference 
in harddrive wear between Windows/Linux.
