For both the ISP at which I work, and the University department at which I work, I have completely avoided NT. Linux and Novell work fantastically together for file/print serving, Internet/web serving, as well as authentication serving and news and other high-powered tasks. Our best uptime on a novell box was 500 days (when we brought it down to upgrade), and Linux had 220 days (when we changed the UPS on it). Stable- YES!
