Looking for some upgrade advice

[Boaz Bezborodko]

I am leary of using MS products.  I've had really good experiences with 
Novell.  The server hasn't gone down except when I take it down.  The 
last time I did that was almost 6 months ago because the tape backup 
drive failed and I had to replace it.  When I took it down the server 
had been up for over 560 days.
