And so we decend into the old Linux vs MS debate :-)

Actually I am running my HA PC (old P233MMX) on Win98SE and it has been
amazingly stable and reliable.  It's running HomeVision, HomeSeer,
HomeWatcher - basically any software called HomeXXXX :-)

It's also running WinRoute Pro (all other machines in the house get their
Net connection thru this one) plus Dialer 2000 (to automatically reconnect
after the FreeServe 2 hour cut off) and Seagate Proxy (so I can control the
machine from the one in this study).  All this on 64 meg.  You linux guys
are going to tell me you could do this on a 286 with 640k aren't you :-)

I will be upgrading this machine to Win2000Pro shortly because I want to
use
IIS to serve the new Comfort Web Interface stuff.
