Wow Jim, pretty snazzy press release you got there for yourself.  Is
there a link to the case which was related to your w2k3 sp1 issue?  If
so, could you share please, as I'm about to have to implement w2k3 in
my org... keeping LINUX web servers of course.  And unless I missed
it, I bet the TNTUG group would like to see the case notes as well.  I
presume it had to do with C: partition being too small/out of space?

Sorry to the group we're a bit OT, but many, like myself, are stuck in
a multi-racial server environment.  :)

Thanks,
David McD
