How stable are the current Windows clients (both NT and 9x)? The servers are currently WinNT machines (though I hope to switch to Linux, and Coda is one of the steps involved), and the clients are 9x and 2000 machines. Sluggishness isn't a problem, since there are only a few users (me and two other employees). Also, if it crashes a bit, that's fine, as long as no data is lost. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laszlo Vecsey" <master_at_internexus.net> To: <codalist_at_TELEMANN.coda.cs.cmu.edu> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 12:52 AM Subject: Re: Production environment? > On Mon, 17 Apr 2000, Chris Snyder wrote: > > > Is anyone currently using Coda in a production environment?
