dgd1788,
You don't strike me as really having a clue about this, but I have a server doing nothing right now that I could give you space on. FOR THIS! IF you're serious!
It IS, of course, LINUX, which is the most popular UNIX like O/S and unix DOES run most of the internet, and used to run about 100% of it!
Also, M/S crashes, is a piece of junk, and NOT made to be remote!
IBM SERVERS? I assume you mean RS 6000? Nice servers, but WHY throw money down the toilet? Hey, you can send it all to me if you want!
BTW Xuincherguixe is right! There are probably a lot of aspies out there ALREADY doing this. I used to be WAY too altruistic. Actually, I probably still am. Apparantly, it is an ASPIE trait!
Oh, and ION is WRONG! The guys at IEEE worked long and hard on POSIX! Incidently, Java RELIES on it! SO, if you follow IONs advice, you probably can't follow IONs advice anyway!
The fact is that, though the IEEE guys got a lot wrong(WHAT IDIOT made the file position and time variables SIGNED!?!?), they got a LOT right! It STILL beats every competitor designed in the last 30+ YEARS! AND, it is designed around UNIX the oldest most adaptable, most portable, and most compatible O/S EVER devised! BTW it was designed together with a language for it in their spare time by pioneers. That sounds kind of aspie to me!
